**动词 (v.)**:以智取胜,智胜;用聪明才智战胜或欺骗某人。
/ˌaʊtˈwɪt/
由前缀 out-(超过、胜过)与名词 wit(智慧、机智)组合而成,最早出现于17世纪。wit 源自古英语 witt,意为"理解力、智力",与日耳曼语系的"知道"相关。整个词的意思就是"在智慧上超过对方",强调以计谋而非蛮力取胜。
The fox outwitted the hunters and escaped into the forest.

She managed to outwit her opponents by anticipating their every move and preparing a counter-strategy well in advance.
