Etymology: "Outrushed" is the past tense of "outrush," a verb formed from "out," from Old English "ut," and "rush," from Middle English "russhen." The origin of "rush" is uncertain, though it may come from Old French. The prefix "out-" in English often means "beyond" or "surpassing," as in "outrun" or "outgrow," which accounts for the sense of moving past rivals or expectations.
