Root Explanation

Outtrade → It is formed from "out-" (meaning beyond or outside) and "trade" (from Old English "træd", meaning to deal or conduct business). The word "outtrade" means to conduct business beyond or better than someone else, often in a competitive context.

Memory Tip

Think of going 'beyond' ('out-') in your 'business dealings' ('trade') — that's why outtrade means to surpass someone in trade.
