Morphology

set-out = set (semi-transparent) = out + set

The noun is based on the phrasal verb 'set out', but the abstract sense of a formal statement or exposition is slightly lexicalized. [Postprocessing: moved 'out' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Set-out comes from the simple parts set ('to put' or 'place') and out ('away' or 'outside'), like when you 'set the table' to put things where people can see them. So a set-out is a clear putting of facts or plans for others to read and understand.
