What does OUTMAN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To outnumber or have more personnel than an opposing side.
Outman describes a situation in numbers rather than skill: one side simply has more people, soldiers, players or workers than the other. A smaller army that is outmanned may still win through better tactics, so the word states only the numerical disadvantage, not the outcome of a contest. Sports commentators use it for a team fielding fewer players after a sending-off or injury, while historians use it for armies facing a numerically larger enemy. It is closely related to outnumber but is generally kept for situations involving people specifically, rather than objects or abstract quantities.
How OUTMAN is used
Used in sport, military history and general reporting to describe one side having fewer people than the other.
- The home team was outmanned after two players were sent off.
- Historians note that the defenders were badly outmanned from the start.
- A larger force will usually outman a smaller one on paper.
