The word "out" originates from Old English ūt, meaning "outside" or "away," derived from Proto-Germanic ūt (compare Dutch uit, German aus). It has retained its core spatial meaning while expanding into abstract uses (e.g., "out of fashion"). Its simplicity as a directional adverb/preposition reflects its ancient Germanic roots, unchanged in spelling for over a millennium.
