Etymology
The term 'outworked' is derived from the prefix 'out-', which means to surpass or exceed, combined with the verb 'work', which comes from Old English 'wyrcan', meaning to perform or create. The formation of 'outworked' follows a common pattern in English where the prefix 'out-' is used to denote doing something to a greater degree or level than something else. This usage likely gained popularity as competitive environments, such as workplaces and sports, became more prevalent, emphasizing the importance of effort and productivity. The concept of outworking someone also reflects broader themes in American culture, particularly the value placed on hard work and determination.
