Etymology: "Outsit" is a plain English compound: the prefix "out-" joined to the verb "sit." The "out-" here carries the sense of surpassing or exceeding a rival, so to outsit someone is to remain seated longer than they do, the same pattern found in "outlast," "outwait," and "outrun." Its meaning comes straight from the two parts, with no change in sense along the way.
