outgo

== English == === Etymology === The verb is derived from Middle English outgon (“to go out, depart, leave; to come out, emerge; to escape; to protrude; of a sword: to be drawn; to emanate from (a place); to accompany”), from Old English ūtgān (“to go out”), Proto-West Germanic *ūtgān (“to go out”), equivalent to out- +‎ go. See also go out. Compare Middle English outwenden (“to go out, depart, leave; to escape; to be emitted, fly out from; of a weapon: to be drawn”), which, like modern outgo, had the past tense and past participle form outwent. The noun is derived from modern English out- (prefix meaning ‘away from; toward the outside of’) +‎ go. Sense 1 (“cost, expenditure, or outlay”) was probably modelled on income. === Pronunciation === Verb: (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˌaʊtˈɡəʊ/ (General American) IPA(key): /ˌaʊtˈɡoʊ/ Rhymes: -əʊ Noun: (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈaʊtɡəʊ/ (General American) IPA(key): /ˈaʊtˌɡoʊ/ Hyphenation: out‧go === Verb === outgo (third-person singular simple present outgoes, present participle outgoing, simple past outwent, past participle outgone) (transitive) (archaic) To go further than (someone or something); to exceed, to go beyond, to surpass.
