Root Explanation

Outwrite → It is formed from "out-" (meaning beyond or external) and "write" (from Old English "writan", meaning to inscribe or mark). The word "outwrite" means to write beyond or surpass in writing.

Memory Tip

Think of writing that goes 'beyond' ('out-') what has been written before — that's what outwrite means.
