+ ==Pronunciation==
+ * /ˈaʊ̯sˌɡaːbə/^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Forms==
+ '''Ausgabe''' ''f'' (genitive Ausgabe, plural Ausgaben)^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is [[inh|gmh|ūzgābe]], a noun formed to the verb [[ausgeben]], from [[aus]] and [[geben]].^(Wiktionary)^(Wiktionary DE)^(Paul 2002) The verb is [[gmh|ūzgeben]], [[goh|ūzgeban]].^(Köbler MHD) The same formation is [[nl|uitgave]].^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ The revised Grimms' dictionary has its first record from a Zwickau law book of 1348–1358, where ''ûzgabe'' is the giving away of a bride in marriage.^(DWB2|3, 1073) Paul finds it from about 1400 mainly for money spent, as the opposite of [[Einnahme]].^(Paul 2002)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ Early New High German used ''ausgabe'' for costs, for a settlement of property and the contract fixing it, and for a proposition put forward.^(FWB) The issuing of money is recorded in a proverb of 1630, ''falsche müntz gilt nichts, weder in der außgab noch einnahm'', “false coin is worth nothing, neither in paying out nor in taking in”.^(DWB2|3, 1073) Adelung around 1800 gives the handing out of letters at the post office and the publishing of a book.^(Adelung 1793)
+
+ The sense “edition” is a loan translation of [[la|editio]] and [[fr|édition]], listed by Frisch in 1741.^(Paul 2002) Campe in 1807 set an ''Ausgabe'', with changes to the text, apart from a mere [[Auflage]], and Goethe's ''Ausgabe letzter Hand'' of 1827 onwards made the term familiar;^(Paul 2002) ''Prachtausgabe'' “luxury edition” is in Campe too.^(Paul 2002) In computing ''Ausgabe'' renders English ''output'', the opposite of ''Eingabe''.^(Paul 2002)^(Wiktionary)
