Answer:
Veto power differs in meaning in different situations.
Explanation:
In context to the UNSC, it is an authorized power given to permanent members of the UN (Russia,China,France,U.S.A). During voting procedures, if one among these country votes for or against the topic at consideration, no matter how much of opposition are there, the verdict would favour the veto. For eg: If China, who has veto, vetoes for a bill in SC, even if everyone else votes against, that one vote of China can 'destroy' every other vote and thus, the verdict favours the veto (China).
In common English though, Veto means having invincible power over something.
