OUTVOICE Meaning and
Definition
-
Outvoice is a verb that refers to the act of speaking or expressing oneself louder or more forcefully than others in a particular situation or context. It is derived from the combination of the prefix "out-" indicating excess or superiority, and the word "voice" which pertains to the ability to speak or communicate.
When someone outvoices others, they assert their opinion, viewpoint, or desires in a more dominant and prominent manner, effectively overshadowing or overpowering the voices of others. Outvoicing can occur in various scenarios, such as during discussions, debates, negotiations, or even casual conversations, where one person seeks to gain control or influence by putting forth their voice more assertively or emphatically.
The act of outvoicing is often used as a means of persuasion, as those who can effectively outvoice others may successfully sway opinions or decisions in their favor. It can result in a situation where the ideas, needs, or concerns of other individuals or groups are overlooked or diminished, potentially leading to a lack of equal representation or fair consideration.
However, outvoicing should not be confused with mere volume or shouting. It involves not only raising one's voice but also employing persuasive or convincing arguments, mannerisms, or tactics to gain attention and dominance. It is a communicative strategy that aims to establish authority or dominance by overpowering the contributions of others in a particular discourse or dialogue.
Common Misspellings for OUTVOICE
Etymology of OUTVOICE
The word "outvoice" is actually a combination of two separate words: "out" and "voice".
The prefix "out-" in this context means "beyond" or "more than", indicating something that surpasses or exceeds. It is derived from the Old English word "ūt" and can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "*ūt".
The word "voice" refers to the sound or expression produced by speech. It comes from the Old French word "voiz", which is derived from the Latin word "vox", meaning "voice" or "sound".
When these two words are joined, "outvoice" is formed, meaning to surpass or exceed someone in terms of speaking or expressing oneself. The word implies speaking louder, more prominently, or with more influence.
