Etymology: "Outtravel" is a plain formation: the prefix "out-" attached to the verb "travel." The prefix "out-" in English means to surpass or exceed, as in "outrun" or "outlive," so "outtravel" follows the same pattern, meaning to go further or farther than someone else. The word belongs to a productive family of English verbs in which "out-" sets up a contest of one party surpassing another in some activity.
