out-of-state
UK: ˌaʊt əv ˈsteɪt | US: ˌaʊt əv ˈsteɪt
adj. relating to or originating from a different state (especially within a federal system, e.g., the U.S.)
n. a person residing or coming from another state
The term combines "out" (Old English ūt, meaning "external") + "of" (Old English of, indicating origin) + "state" (Latin status, via Old French estat, meaning "political entity"). It emerged in American English to describe cross-state distinctions, particularly for taxation, education, or legal purposes. The hyphenated form reflects its role as a compound modifier.
