What does OUTASK mean in Scrabble?
verb
rare
To ask for more than another person does, or to publish the marriage banns of a couple for the last time.
Outask is built like many English verbs with the prefix out, meaning to go beyond someone in the act of asking. A second, church sense belongs to old parish custom, where the banns of a couple were read out three Sundays in a row and the final reading was said to outask them. Both senses are very rare today and turn up mostly in word lists and dictionaries.
