Etymology of OUT DARES

The term "out dares" is a combination of two words: "out" and "dares". The etymology of each word separately is as follows:

1. Out: The word "out" comes from the Old English word "ūt", which can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "ūt" meaning "out, outside". Over time, it evolved in Middle English to "outen" and later became the modern English word "out".

2. Dares: The word "dares" is the third-person singular form of the verb "dare". The word "dare" originated from the Old English word "darran", which has Indo-European roots. It is related to the cognate Old High German word "tarren" and the Old Norse word "dearr". All these words share the common meaning of "to have the courage to" or "to challenge".
