outwork
Off-site employment tasks
Outwork means to work harder or more productively than someone else: She consistently outworks her competitors.
The emphasis is on effort and output rather than cleverness or talent.
As a noun, an outwork is a defensive fortification beyond the main walls of a castle or fort—a meaning now mostly historical.
