outdraft

Exceeding another's pull

Outdraft refers to an outward flow of air or gas, the opposite of a draft that draws inward.

The term appears in technical contexts involving ventilation, chimneys, or airflow systems: The outdraft from the furnace created a warm breeze near the vent.

Less commonly, outdraft can mean to surpass someone in drafting or drawing up documents.
