Morphology

kick-out = kick + out (semi-transparent) = kick + out

Formed from the verb 'kick' + particle 'out' and the components are clear, but this sense is a specialized sports term (a restart kick) not obvious to all learners.

Etymology

Kick-out is made of the parts kick 'to strike with the foot' and out 'away'. In sports, a kick-out became the name for the restart when a goalkeeper or player kicks the ball back into play.
