'condescended to accept' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'head with focus changing after victor' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'changing' indicates an anagram.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'victor' becomes 'V' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'head' put after 'focus' is 'focushead'.
'focushead' is an anagram of 'ouchsafed'.
'ouchsafed' put after 'v' is 'VOUCHSAFED'.
