recordbreaking

Surpassing all previous

Recordbreaking describes a performance or achievement that surpasses all previous marks: a recordbreaking sprint, recordbreaking temperatures.

The term applies to sports, weather, sales figures, attendance—anything measured and tracked.

Usually hyphenated as record-breaking, though the solid form appears increasingly.

The achievement itself is a record breaker.
