How Do You Spell OUTBURN?

The word "outburn" is spelled using the IPA phonetic transcription /aʊtˈbɜrn/. It is composed of the prefix "out-" which means "to a particular extent or degree", and the verb "burn". The stress falls on the second syllable, marked with an apostrophe before the "b". This stress on the second syllable is essential for accurately pronouncing the word.

OUTBURN Meaning and Definition

  1. Outburn is a verb that refers to the act of exceeding or surpassing the amount or intensity of something, particularly in terms of burning or consuming. It can also describe the action of enduring or enduring a greater degree of burning or heat without adverse effects.

    In the context of fire or flames, to outburn means to burn brighter, longer, or hotter than another flame or fire.
