Etymology
The word 'outwore' is derived from the combination of the prefix 'out-' and the verb 'wear'. The prefix 'out-' indicates a notion of exceeding or going beyond, while 'wear' comes from the Old English 'werian' which means 'to carry' or 'to bear'. Thus, 'to outwear' something literally means to wear something to the point where it can no longer be worn. The term has evolved from its earliest usages in Middle English around the 14th century, where it similarly referenced the concept of wearing garments or items until they are completely used up or their functionality is diminished. In modern English, 'outwore' specifically denotes the past tense of this verb, indicating that the action has already occurred.
