Etymology: "Outbulges" is the third-person singular present form of the verb "outbulge," meaning to stick out beyond something else. The verb is formed from "out-" and "bulge," so its meaning is built directly from its two parts: "bulge" describes a swelling or protruding curve, and "out-" adds the sense of going beyond an edge or boundary. A bulge that outbulges is simply one that pushes past the surface around it.

Synonyms: protrudes, bubbles, bulges out
