Morphology

outcuss = cuss (transparent) = out + cuss

The verb is formed by productive prefix 'out-' (to surpass) + 'cuss' (to swear), yielding the clear meaning 'to swear more than someone.'

Etymology

Outcuss comes from the prefix out- meaning 'more than' and the word cuss meaning 'to swear', so you can think of it as trying to 'outdo' someone with bad words. So, to outcuss someone is to use more or stronger swear words than they do.
