Etymology of OUTDISTANCE

The word "outdistance" is a compound word formed by adding the prefix "out-" to the base word "distance".

The prefix "out-" originates from the Old English word "ūt", meaning "out" or "beyond". It is often used to indicate separation, departure, or surpassing a particular boundary.

The base word "distance" comes from the Latin word "distantia", which means "a standing apart" or "a difference in space or time". The Latin word is derived from the verb "distantiare", which means "to stand apart" or "to separate".
