+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * /ˈaʊ̯sʃtɛlʊŋ/^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''Ausstellung''' ''f'' (genitive Ausstellung, plural Ausstellungen)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is a noun of action formed [[af|de|ausstellen|-ung]].^(Wiktionary)^(Wiktionary DE)^(Pfeifer 1993) Beside the verb there was [[gml|ûtstellinge]].^(DWB2|3, 1506) The verb is made of [[aus]] and [[stellen]], and is found from Early New High German on.^(Paul 2002)^(Pfeifer 1993)

+

+ The simple verb is [[goh|stellen]] (8th century), [[osx|stellian]], [[ang|stellan]], a denominative of the old word for a standing place, [[gem-pro|*stallaz]], now [[Stall]];^(Kluge 2011|881)^(Pfeifer 1993)^(EWA|8, 1038) Kluge also allows it to be a causative of a root [[ine-pro|*stel-]], which is otherwise not found in Germanic.^(Kluge 2011|881)^(Pfeifer 1993)^(EWA|8, 1038) The noun goes back to [[m|ine-pro|*steh₂-|t=to stand]].^(Kroonen 2013)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The earliest records have senses of the verb that are now lost: Middle Low German ''ûtstellinge'' (1437) and Early New High German ''Ausstellung'' meant postponement, delay, as in the deferring of a court's judgement (1614);^(DWB2|3, 1506) the Early New High German dictionary also has “prohibition, prevention” and “arrears of payment”.^(FWB)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ From 1591 the noun was used for drawing up and issuing a document, a letter or a receipt, a sense still alive in ''die Ausstellung eines Passes''.^(DWB2|3, 1506) From the 17th century it also meant an objection or criticism, as when Leopold Mozart's correspondents found many faults (''ausstellungen'') with a carriage in 1778;^(DWB2|3, 1506) Adelung had this plural use,^(Paul 2002) and Duden now marks it as dated officialese.^(Duden GWDS 1999)

+

+ The sense “public display” appears at the end of the 18th century, first of a convict exposed in public (1796), then of exhibitions of engravings and paintings (1834) and the displays of shops (Heine, 1854).^(DWB2|3, 1506) Goethe proposed a show of the progress of the best pupils.^(DWB|1, 987) In the 19th century exhibitions of the products of art and industry grew from provincial shows to the world exhibitions of London, Paris, Vienna and Philadelphia,^(DWB2|3, 1506) and the word now mostly belongs to this sense, with many compounds.^(Paul 2002)

+

+ ==Timeline==

+ * 1437 – Middle Low German ''ûtstellinge'' “postponement”.^(DWB2|3, 1506)

+ * 1591 – The sense “issuing (of letters)”.^(DWB2|3, 1506)
