Root Explanation

Outdare → It is formed from "out-" (meaning beyond or surpassing) and "dare" (from Old English "deorran", meaning to have courage or to be bold). The word "outdare" means to surpass someone in daring or courage.

Memory Tip

Think of going 'beyond' ('out-') in 'courage' ('dare') — that's why outdare means to be more daring than someone else.
