Etymology of OUTJEST

The word "outjest" is derived from a combination of the prefix "out-" and the noun "jest".

The prefix "out-" functions as an intensifier or denotes surpassing or exceeding, as seen in other words like "outbid", "outperform", or "outrun".

The noun "jest" dates back to the late 16th century and originated from the Middle French word "geste", which means an exploit or adventure. It evolved to refer to a playful or humorous remark or action.

When combined, the prefix "out-" enhances the meaning of "jest" to imply that one has surpassed others in terms of making jokes, providing entertainment, or engaging in witty banter. Consequently, "outjest" is often used to describe someone who outdoes or out-sarcasms others, demonstrating superior wit or humor.
