Morphology

go + out

The components 'go' (move) and 'out' (away/outside) transparently suggest leaving home to socialize, which gives a plausible clue to a social/romantic activity. However, the specific conventionalized sense 'to date someone regularly' is an extended, culture-specific usage that is not fully predictable from the parts and typically requires prior exposure, so it is only partially transparent.

Etymology

Go out for leaving a place to do a task paints the image of a team stepping out from their base to work in the field, so go out here means 'to leave a place to do a specific activity'.
