Did you hear about that guy who survived the accident last week?

Yeah, they say he’s quite the outliver after everything he went through.

Root Explanation

This word originates from Old English, where 'out' means outside or beyond, and 'liver' (from 'līf') means life. Therefore, 'outliver' refers to someone who lives beyond or outlives others.

Memory Tip

Think of someone living 'beyond' ('out') their expected lifespan — that's why 'outliver' means to outlive others.
