The word "outgeneralled" is derived from the verb "outgeneral" and the suffix "-ed".
The term "outgeneral" originated from the combination of two words: "out" and "general".
"General" comes from the Latin word "generalis", which means "relating to a whole class or group". entered English usage through Old French and Middle English, signifying a commander or leader of an army.
The prefix "out-" in English is used to indicate a superiority or surpassing of a particular action or quality. Therefore, when combined with "general", the verb "outgeneral" means to surpass or outmaneuver someone in terms of tactics, strategy, or leadership during a military or competitive situation.
Hence, when "-ed" is added to "outgeneral", we get "outgeneralled", which is the past tense or past participle form of the verb.
