Origin of the word outside

The word "outside" has an interesting history. It comes from the Old English word "ūtside," which was a compound of "ūt" meaning "out" and "side" meaning "side." "Ut" itself is thought to derive from the Proto-Germanic word "ūtō," meaning "out" or "outside." This ultimately traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root "*h₂ud-," which meant "to go out." So, "outside" literally means "the side that is out" or "the outer side," showcasing how the word evolved to describe the space beyond a boundary.
