Etymology
The term 'outpointing' originates from the prefix 'out-', meaning to go beyond or exceed, combined with 'point', which in this context refers to the scoring system used in various competitive sports. The usage of 'point' in this sense has its roots in Old French 'point', which denoted a unit of scoring or a mark. As competitive sports became formalized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the concept of scoring based on points became more prevalent, giving rise to the verb form 'outpointing'. This term is frequently used in commentary and analysis of sporting events, particularly in boxing where judges score rounds based on the number of points awarded for clean hits and tactical dominance.
