Etymology: "Outdrives" is the third-person singular present form of "outdrive," which combines the prefix "out-" (meaning "beyond" or "surpassing") with "drive." That verb descends from Old English "drīfan," meaning to push or propel something forward. Its sense of hitting a ball farther than another player, as in golf, is one of its most established uses, and the sense of driving a vehicle better than rivals grew from the same idea of moving ahead of others.
