Word origin

超 (chāo, "go beyond") + 出 (chū, "go out") pictures a quantity crossing its boundary and ending up outside it.

Usage tips

  • Because the boundary can be an expectation rather than a physical edge, this verb is useful for discussing results, spending, time, and capacity in ordinary Chinese.
