No option available as per your requirement in outlook.  

If the mailbox is in Exchange Server or Office 365, you can create a Transport Rule to Prepend a word in Subject for a specific recipient. To make make it more simple, you can create a Rule like, if the sender is this person.. and the subject contains a word like confidential.. and then take an action with prepend the subject as "Super" then the recipient will receive the email subject as Super Confidential.
Doesn't exist on Outlook or Mac Mail on OSX.

The only option I can think of is a scriptable system tool like

Hammerspoon : https://www.hammerspoon.org/
Keyboard Maestro - http://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/
Quickeys - http://startly.com/products/quickeys/mac/4/

You could create a keyboard shortcut which would locate the Subject input box and prepend the text you require
