Morphology

outta + here

This is a colloquial phonological reduction of 'out of here' and the meaning 'to leave (this place), often quickly' is directly compositional from 'out(/out of)' + 'here'. The informal spelling 'outta' does not change the transparent spatial/motion logic, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Outta here comes from saying out, of, here very fast so the small word of sounds like 'ta' and the words run together. That's why outta here is used when someone is 'leaving quickly'.
