Etymology
The word 'outrace' is a combination of the prefix 'out-' meaning 'beyond' or 'surpassing' and 'race,' which comes from the Old Norse word 'ræþ,' meaning 'running' or 'a contest of speed.' The term has been in usage since the early 19th century, primarily in English-speaking contexts. Its usage has expanded from referring to literal racing scenarios to more metaphorical contexts where someone or something is outdone or surpassed in speed, efficiency, or capability. The evolution of the term reflects broader themes of competition and achievement found throughout sports and other areas of life.
