覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 outscore の過去形・過去分詞で、語末の無音の e に -d が付き、-ed は /d/ と発音します。out-「上回って」＋score「得点する」なので、outscored the visitors by ten points のように、相手より多く得点した場面と結び付けて覚えます。
Outscored is the past tense and past participle of outscore. Because outscore already ends in silent e, the written form simply adds d, and the ending is pronounced /d/. Break the word into out-, meaning “beyond or better than,” and score. If one team outscored another, its score was higher. Fix the pattern in memory with sports phrases such as outscored the visitors in the final quarter and outscored its rival by ten points. Unlike defeated, outscored focuses specifically on the points gained.
例文
Our team outscored the visitors in the final quarter.
私たちのチームは最終クォーターで相手チームの得点を上回りました。
She outscored every player in the tournament.
彼女は大会の全選手を得点で上回りました。
The home team outscored its rival by ten points.
ホームチームはライバルを10点上回りました。

outscored の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語の「out（上回る）」と古ノルド語の「skor（切り目）」が語源です。かつて棒に刻み目を入れて数を数えた名残で「score」は点数を指し、接頭辞out-と過去形-edが付き「相手の得点を上回った」という意味が導けます。関連語にscoreboard、outperformがあります。
Outscore is a transparent English formation combining out-, in its comparative sense “do better than,” with score. Score entered English from Old Norse skor, meaning a notch or cut, reflecting the former practice of recording counts with carved marks. Outscored is the regular past and past-participial form, created by adding -ed, written as -d after the final silent e.
