Etymology: "Outsoaring" is the present participle and gerund of "outsoar," which means to fly higher than something else. The verb is built from the prefix "out-," meaning beyond or surpassing, attached to "soar," which comes from Old French "essorer," itself ultimately tied to the Latin for lifting up into the air. Together they describe one bird or aircraft rising above another, and the same pattern of "out-" plus a verb is common in English, as in "outrun," "outshine," and "outlive."
