OUTMANNING Meaning and
Definition
-
Outmanning is a term that refers to the act of surpassing or exceeding the number or strength of opponents in a particular situation, typically in a military or competitive context. It involves having a larger force or a greater number of skilled individuals than the opposition, providing a distinct advantage in terms of manpower or resources.
In a military sense, outmanning signifies the strategic advantage gained by outnumbering enemy forces or overwhelming foes with a superior number of troops. This can lead to increased tactical options, as a larger force can potentially encircle, flank, or overpower the opposing forces, thereby gaining the upper hand in battle.
In a competitive setting, such as sports or business, outmanning implies having more skilled players, resources, or abilities than the opposing team or organization. This can result in a higher likelihood of success, as the team or company with superior numbers or capabilities can potentially outperform, outscore, or outmaneuver their opponents.
The concept of outmanning emphasizes the significance of quantity and quality in determining the outcome of a conflict, contest, or competition. It highlights the advantage gained by having a larger or stronger force, whether in terms of personnel or resources, and the potential to dominate or overcome opponents.
Etymology of OUTMANNING
The word "outmanning" is derived from the verb "outman", which combines the prefix "out-" meaning "beyond" or "surpassing" with the verb "man".
The term "man" in this context refers to the action of staffing or provisioning with manpower. It comes from the Old English word "mann" which means "human being" or "person". Over time, it evolved to specifically refer to an adult male. The verb "man" in its various forms denotes the act of providing or being staffed by people, especially men.
The prefix "out-" in "outman" intensifies the action, suggesting a surpassing or superiority in terms of staffing or manpower. So, "outmanning" means to surpass or overcome someone or something by having a greater number of people or manpower.
