Etymology of OUTWEIGHING
The word outweighing is derived from the verb outweigh, which dates back to the 14th century. It is a combination of the prefix out- meaning exceeding or surpassing, and the verb weigh, which comes from the Old English word weagan, meaning to carry or to weigh. Thus, outweigh originally meant to exceed the weight of or to be heavier than. Over time, the verb outweigh has acquired the broader sense of to have more importance or significance than something else, which is reflected in the term outweighing.
