Etymology of OUTSPRINT

The word "outsprint" is derived from the combination of two words: "out" and "sprint".

The word "out" is derived from the Old English word "ūt", which has the same meaning as the modern-day English word. "Out" denotes a direction away from, or surpassing in distance or amount.

The word "sprint" has its roots in the Old Norse word "sprint", meaning a quick run or a short burst of speed. The term was later adopted into Middle English as "sprinten", which also meant to run at full speed.

When the two words are combined, "outsprint" thus refers to the act of surpassing or running faster than someone or something in a sprint or short-distance race.
