surviving

/sɝˈvaɪvɪŋ/ verb

present participle and gerund of survive

Word Origin From Latin supervivere: super 'over, beyond' + vivere 'to live' — literally, to live beyond. The sur- prefix is a French twist on super-. So surviving is living beyond some event. The same vivere root gives us revive (live again), vivid (lively), and vital (life-giving). Surviving is outliving.
