Morphology

outride = ride (semi-transparent) = out + ride

The prefix 'out-' suggests surpassing or enduring, but the specific meaning of 'surviving a difficult situation' is not directly inferred from 'ride'.

Etymology

Outride comes from the parts out- 'beyond' or 'more' and ride 'to travel on a horse or bike'. Think of 'riding through' a storm and coming out the other side, so to outride a hard time is to survive or endure it.
