Morphology

output = put (transparent) = out + put

The sense 'signal or data produced by a device' is literally what the device 'puts out', so components map transparently to the meaning. [Postprocessing: moved 'out' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Output comes from out- 'out' and put 'place' or 'send', so it is what a machine or device 'puts out'. Just like a factory's output is the goods it makes, a device's output is the sound, picture, or data it sends out.
