output
UK: ˈaʊtpʊt | US: ˈaʊtpʊt
n. the amount of something produced by a person, machine, or system
vt. to produce or deliver data, results, or products
The word "output" combines "out" (Old English ūt, meaning "external" or "away") and "put" (Old English putian, meaning "to place"). Originally used in manufacturing to describe goods produced ("placed out"), it later expanded to computing and general productivity contexts. The morphemes reflect a literal action of "placing out" results or products.
