Etymology: "Outjuts" is the third-person singular present form of "outjut," so it is the verb "outjut" used with a subject such as "it" or "she." The verb is formed from "out" and "jut," with "out" meaning outward and "jut" meaning to protrude or stick out beyond a surrounding surface. "Jut" is itself the older and more familiar element, and the prefixed form "outjut" adds emphasis to the sense of projecting beyond a boundary. The word therefore describes something that sticks out past the limits of what surrounds it, whether a cliff pushing past a coastline or a ledge extending beyond a wall.

Synonyms: protrudes, extends, juts out
