Morphology

outwrite = write (transparent) = out + write

The productive prefix 'out-' meaning 'do more or better than' combines with 'write' to give a directly derivable sense 'write better or more than someone else'.

Etymology

Outwrite comes from the prefix out- ('more than' or 'better than') plus write, so it literally means to 'write more' or 'write better' than someone else, as when you outwrite a rival in a contest.
