Etymology: "Outjutted" is the past tense and past participle of "outjut," a verb meaning to stick out sharply. The verb is formed from the prefix "out-" and the verb "jut," so the word is built from two parts that each carry their own weight. "Out" needs no explanation, and "jut" is the older and more significant piece: it describes something projecting beyond a surface or line, as a rock ledge or a balcony does. Adding "out-" intensifies that projection and points it outward, so the whole verb suggests a protrusion that is both pronounced and clearly visible.

Synonyms: protruded, stuck out
