Morphology

outgas = gas (semi-transparent) = out + gas

The prefix 'out-' suggests an outward action, but the specific informal meaning of releasing gas from the digestive system is not immediately obvious.

Etymology

Outgas is a simple combination of out- 'out' and gas 'air or vapor', so imagine a balloon letting air out or a quiet burp where the gas goes 'out'. So to outgas in everyday speech means to release gas from your body, like burping or passing wind.
