Etymology of OUTSTRODE

The word "outstrode" is formed by the combination of two distinct words: "out" and "strode".

The word "out" is derived from the Old English word "ūt", which means "outside" or "away". It has remained fairly consistent in meaning and pronunciation throughout its history.

The word "strode" is derived from the Old English verb "strīdan", which means "to move with long steps" or "to stride". It is related to the Middle Low German word "striden" and the Dutch word "strijden", both with similar meanings.

By combining "out" and "strode", the word "outstrode" is created to indicate the action of striding or moving with long steps outside or away from a particular place.
