Root Explanation

Outblush → It is formed from "out-" (meaning beyond or outward) and "blush" (from Old English "blūscan", meaning to redden or become red). The word "outblush" means to redden or blush more than usual, often in a noticeable or excessive way.

Memory Tip

Think of going 'beyond' ('out-') the usual level of 'reddening' ('blush') — that's why outblush means to blush more than normal.
