Root Explanation

Outgaze → It is formed from "out-" (meaning beyond or outside) and "gaze" (from Old English "gæsan", meaning to look or stare). The word "outgaze" means to look beyond or to gaze further than something.

Memory Tip

Think of looking 'beyond' ('out-') while 'gazing' — that's why outgaze means to look further.
