पुराने युद्धों में लड़ाई दिन भर चलती थी और रात को रुक जाती थी। जो पक्ष शाम तक मैदान में टिका रहा, माना जाता था कि उसने उस दिन को जीत लिया, पूरा दिन carry किया। Carry the day = जीत हासिल करना।

In old wars, fighting went on through the day and stopped at night. The side that held the field until sunset was said to have won that day; it carried the day. So to carry the day is to win or to succeed.
