Morphology

outperformance = outperform (transparent) = out + perform + ance

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ance' to the verb 'outperform'; the meaning (the act/result of doing better) follows directly from 'out'+'perform'.

Etymology

Outperformance comes from the prefix out- meaning 'more than' or 'beyond', as in outdo and outrun, and performance meaning 'how well you do something'. So outperformance is like 'doing better than others', which is why we use it for a person, fund, or company that does above the usual level.
