The word "outdated" combines "out" (from Old English "ūt," meaning "external" or "beyond") with "date" (from Latin "data," meaning "given time"). The suffix "-ed" turns it into an adjective. Literally, it means "beyond its given time," reflecting something no longer current or relevant. The term emerged in the early 19th century to describe objects or ideas surpassed by newer developments.
