Etymology: "Outstrides" is the third-person singular present form of "outstride," a verb meaning to pass someone by taking longer or quicker strides. The verb is built from the prefix "out-," meaning beyond or surpassing, attached to "stride," which descends from Old English "stīdan," to mount or ascend. Over time "stride" came to describe the long, deliberate step of a walker, and the prefix turns that step into a way of leaving others behind.
