Morphology
The meaning 'to utter or exclaim something suddenly and forcefully' connects to 'rip' (a violent tearing or force) plus 'out' (outward direction), so a learner could plausibly infer a forceful outward action applied to speech. However, using 'rip' to describe producing a vocalization is metaphorical and phrasal-verb behavior varies, so the exact sense is not fully predictable without prior exposure.
Etymology
Rip out comes from the image of ripping something away and pulling it out, like tearing a page from a book or pulling up an old carpet, a strong picture of fast, forceful removal. So it means 'to remove something quickly or forcefully'.
