OUTWEAR Meaning and
Definition
-
Outwear is a transitive verb that refers to the act of wearing something until it becomes worn-out, tattered, or no longer in proper condition for use or display. It often implies a situation where an item of clothing, a piece of equipment, or an object has been subjected to prolonged or excessive wear and tear. When something is outworn, it has reached a state of dilapidation, decay, or obsolescence due to extended or repeated use.
Additionally, "outwear" can also describe the action of surpassing or enduring a certain length of time or amount of wear. In this sense, it involves using an item, especially clothing or footwear, for a longer duration than what might be considered typical or expected. For instance, if a pair of shoes or a piece of clothing is able to outwear its counterparts, it means that it demonstrates exceptional durability and can withstand prolonged usage without losing its original quality or functionality.
Furthermore, "outwear" can be used metaphorically to describe the process of overcoming a challenge or difficulty through resilience and perseverance. In this context, it emphasizes the ability to endure or surpass endurance limits, like outlasting or outperforming others in terms of stamina, fortitude, or determination. This definition commonly pertains to situations requiring mental, physical, or emotional stamina, such as athletic competitions or enduring mental hardships.
Common Misspellings for OUTWEAR
Etymology of OUTWEAR
The word "outwear" is derived from the combination of two Old English words: "uti" (meaning "out") and "werian" (meaning "to wear" or "to carry"). Over time, these words merged to form the Middle English term "outweren", which eventually evolved into "outwear" in Modern English. The term "outwear" essentially means to wear out, to exhaust, or to use up something, such as clothes, resources, or energy.
