excel
Rise above others
To excel is to be exceptionally good at something or to surpass others: She excels at mathematics, He excelled in every sport he tried.
The word implies standing out from the crowd through superior performance or ability.
Someone who excels doesn't just succeed—they distinguish themselves. (Capitalized Excel is the Microsoft spreadsheet software.)
