Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the combination of the English prefix 'out-' (meaning to surpass or exceed) and the verb 'strip' (originally meaning to track or run, from Old Norse 'stripa'). The term emerged in the late 16th century, initially retaining a physical sense of running faster or leaving behind in a race, before broadening to metaphorically describe surpassing in amount, degree, or success.
