CHOOSE THE RIGHT WORD excel, surpass, outdo All these words denote superiority or pre-eminence. ■ Excel is most often used without a direct object, emphasizing someone's outstanding ability (he excelled at maths and won a scholarship to Cambridge | it was not enough to excel in the swimming and running ). The most common transitive use is to excel oneself, which is to do better than one has ever done before (Miss Lodsworth, who organized the flower rota, had excelled herself ). It is comparatively rare to excel someone else. ■ Surpass literally means ‘go beyond ’. It indicates that someone has passed a previous limit, proving themselves greater or better (he won five races and surpassed the all-time record ). It is also quite common to surpass someone (he was never surpassed by recent comedians ); its reflexive use, to surpass oneself, has the same sense as excel oneself (he surpassed himself once more in the 1991 Ryder Cup ). ■ Outdo indicates that someone is more successful or goes to greater lengths than their competitors (they tried to outdo each other in generosity | she could not hope to outdo the big contractors ). The note of competition with others is strongest in this word (everybody was trying to outdo each other with stories of how exciting their holidays had been | not to be outdone, Pentos also produced its own fully-illustrated catalogue ). It is unusual to outdo oneself. These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word.
