What does OUTRUN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To run faster than someone or something else, or to move ahead of it.
Outrun most often describes a literal race, as when one runner or animal outpaces another over ground. The word is also used figuratively for situations in which one thing exceeds or gets ahead of another, such as expenses that outrun income or demand that outruns supply. Because it combines run with the comparative prefix out-, it fits a wider family of words like outdo and outgrow that describe surpassing something else. Outrun remains common in both sports writing and everyday speech.
