Beat; get the better of (5)

I believe the answer is:

outdo

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'beat' is the first definition.
(I know that outdo is a type of beat)

'get the better of' is the second definition.
(I know that outdo is a type of trounce)

(Other definitions for outdo that I've seen before include "Go one beter than, surpass" , "Perform better than surpass" , "Eclipse" , "Beat" , "Surpass - overshadow - excel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
