外出

外出 means 'to go out' or 'to leave the house.' It refers to leaving one's home or workplace for a specific purpose, such as running errands, visiting someone, or going on an outing.

The character 外 (wài) means 'outside' or 'external,' and 出 (chū) means 'to go out' or 'to exit.' Together, they form a compound that literally translates to 'go outside,' emphasizing the action of leaving a confined space.

外出 is commonly used in daily conversation to describe activities outside the home. It can also imply a temporary departure, often with a sense of purpose or necessity. In some contexts, it may carry a subtle connotation of escaping or taking a break from routine responsibilities.
