Morphology

outliver = outlive (transparent) = out + live + er

Built by adding the agentive suffix '-er' to the verb 'outlive', which itself is clearly 'out' + 'live', so the derivation and role (one who outlives) are straightforward.

Etymology

Outliver starts with out- ('more than' or 'beyond') and uses live ('to be alive'), just like the common verb outlive, and the -er ending makes it a person. So an outliver is someone who 'lives beyond' another person — a person who lives longer than someone else.
