What does OUTVIE mean in Scrabble?
verb
literary
To surpass a rival in a contest of rivalry or display.
Outvie is a formal, slightly old-fashioned verb for winning a competition of splendour, effort or attention, usually one where several parties strive against each other. It builds on vie, meaning to compete, and typically takes a person or a group as its object, as when two cities outvie each other in building grand towers. Because it sounds elevated, it is more common in historical writing than in conversation.
