Etymology: "Outproducing" is the present participle of "outproduce", which is formed simply from the prefix "out-" added to "produce". The prefix "out-" in English means "beyond" or "surpassing", so to outproduce someone is to produce more than they do. The base verb "produce" came into English from Latin "producere", meaning "to lead forth" or "bring forward", built from "pro-" (forward) and "ducere" (to lead). The "out-" prefix, from Old English "ūt", is the older and more ordinary element here, and it has been productive in English for centuries, giving us verbs such as "outrun", "outlast", and "outdo".
