Morphology

push + out

The literal combination of 'push' (apply force to move) + 'out' (away from the interior) gives a clear image of moving something outward, so learners can infer a general sense of sending or moving something away. However, the specialized, technical sense ‘release or distribute an update/content to users’ is a metaphorical extension of that physical image and may not be fully predictable without exposure, so it is only partially transparent to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Push out comes from the image of sending things out from a factory or off a conveyor, like a machine that pushes products out to customers. That's why we use it to mean 'to release or send a product or update to users'.
