An American verb meaning to outperform someone by working harder, moving faster, or grinding more persistently — to hustle more effectively than the competition. Used heavily in sports commentary, business motivation culture, and hip-hop. The premise is that hustle (effort, drive, relentless work) is a scalable quality and that you can always outdo someone in that dimension even if you can't outskill them.

She might not be the most talented player on the court, but she'll outhustle everyone else every single time.
Origin: From 'out-' (surpassing, doing more than) + 'hustle' (to work hard and energetically, American slang). A standard 'out-' competitive prefix formation. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
