Etymology: "Outride" is a plain formation: the prefix "out-" attached to "ride," with the sense of surpassing someone in the saddle or on wheels. The prefix descends from Old English "ūt," meaning "outside" or "away from," which also gave modern English "out" and reaches back to a Proto-Germanic root. "Ride" comes from Old English "rīdan," and the two parts combine to mean riding beyond or past others.
