Origin of the word outgoing

The word "outgoing" originated from the verb "go out," which has been used in English since the 13th century. Initially, it simply meant to leave a place or to exit. Over time, "go out" evolved to describe leaving one's home for social interactions, leading to the concept of being "outgoing" as someone who readily interacts with others and enjoys social situations. The transition from "go out" to "outgoing" as a personality trait occurred in the late 19th century and solidified its meaning in the 20th century.
