Etymology of OUTSTRIDDEN
The word "outstridden" is derived from the combination of two main elements: "out-" and "stride", with the addition of the suffix "-en".
- "Out-" is a prefix that denotes "beyond" or "outside", indicating that something is done to a greater extent or surpassing a previous level.
- "Stride" comes from the Old English word "strīdan", which means "to stride or step over". Over time, it developed into the modern English verb "stride", indicating taking long steps or walking with purpose.
- The suffix "-en" is used to form the past participle of certain strong verbs in English. It expresses a sense of completion or influence over something. Examples of other words with the "-en" suffix include "broken", "hidden", or "written".
