Morphology

outie = (semi-transparent) = out + ie

Formed from 'out' + '-ie' to mean 'a person who is leaving' in informal slang; the logic is visible but the specific slang usage may not be predictable to all learners. [Postprocessing: moved 'out' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Outie comes from out plus the friendly ending -ie, used in the same casual way as in selfie. That's why an outie can mean 'a person who is leaving' — you are 'out' or heading away.
