You may have noticed that some words have more than one meaning.
I am going to the beach.
I am going to eat.
The same can go for parts of words like prefixes.
outward (towards the outside)
outbid (to bid more than someone else)
Also, you may have noticed that when you put words together, or even standing a lone, they may have non-literal meanings. They may have meanings that just are.
call out (to yell)
put out (to douse a fire -or- to let an animal outside -or- to offer oneself)
See, you hit more than one with the last one.
