Etymology of OUTSTRAIN
The word "outstrain" is derived from the combination of two morphemes: "out-" and "strain".
The prefix "out-" in this context implies exceeding, surpassing, or going beyond a limit or boundary. It can also indicate an action going away from something or coming to an end.
The verb "strain" has Old English roots and originally meant to pull tight, stretch, or exert force. Over time, it developed various meanings including to push oneself to the limit, exert oneself physically or mentally, or undergo excessive stress or pressure.
When "out-" is combined with "strain", the resulting word "outstrain" refers to the act of straining or exerting oneself to an excessive or extreme degree.
