Morphology

output = put (transparent) = out + put

The noun is a straightforward compound 'out' + 'put' meaning what is 'put out' (produced); learners who know 'out' and 'put' can infer this sense. [Postprocessing: moved 'out' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Output is made from out- 'out' and put 'place' or 'send', so it originally meant what is 'put out'. That's why output now means the amount or items a person, machine, or factory produces.
