Morphology

outproduce = produce (transparent) = out + produce

The meaning is directly formed by the productive prefix 'out-' (do more than) applied to the verb 'produce', so learners who know both parts can infer the sense.

Etymology

The word outproduce joins the part out- meaning 'more than', as in outdo, with produce meaning 'to make'. So to outproduce someone is to 'make more' than them.
