outweighed
Was heavier than
Outweighed is the past tense of outweigh, meaning to exceed in importance, influence, or value.
When one thing outweighs another, it carries more weight in a decision or comparison: The benefits outweighed the risks.
The word comes from literal weighing but almost always appears in figurative contexts: Her experience outweighed her lack of formal credentials.
