Root Explanation

Outproduce → It is formed from "out-" (meaning beyond or surpassing) and "produce" (from Latin "producere", meaning to lead forth or bring forth). The word "outproduce" means to produce more than someone or something else, surpassing in production.

Memory Tip

Think of going 'beyond' ('out-') in 'producing' something — that's why outproduce means to produce more than others.
