Did you see how much the new video game costs?

Yeah, it's crazy! I didn't expect it to outvalue the last one by so much.

Root Explanation

Outvalue → It is formed from "out-" (meaning beyond or surpassing) and "value" (from Latin "valere", meaning to be strong or to be worth). The word "outvalue" means to surpass in worth or value.

Memory Tip

Think of going 'beyond' ('out-') what something is 'worth' ('value') — that's why outvalue means to exceed in value.
