To outmanoeuvre someone is to get the better of them by using a cleverer plan or a more move — you win by thinking and positioning, not just by being stronger. Teams outmanoeuvre each other in sport; companies outmanoeuvre rivals; in , one side outmanoeuvres the other. The word can be quite physical (a player slipping past a defender), but just as often it is about plans: who saw further ahead. It is a little formal and a little British in spelling. Though actually, American English the same word outmaneuver — same meaning, different letters. Taiwan textbooks often keep the British -oe- spelling, but you will meet both. Manoeuvre itself is a planned move; out- here is the 'do it better than' prefix, the same competitive out- as in outlast and outnumber. It is not only an army word, even though that is where a lot of people first met it.
以策略勝過；智取
組成out- + manoeuvre. Out- means 'better than / beyond'; manoeuvre is a skilful planned move (the British spelling of the word Americans write maneuver). So outmanoeuvre is 'to manoeuvre better than' someone.
