ieșire

Forms

ieșire f (plural ieșiri)^[1]

Etymology

It is formed from Romanian ieși + -re: the long infinitive of the verb, used as a noun.^[2][3][1] Ciorănescu lists it among the derivatives of the verb.^[4] The verb is from Latin exeō (“to go out”).^[4]

Earliest recorded meaning

The first record is in the Psaltirea Hurmuzaki of the early 16th century, which has the articled form ieșirea in Psalms 105:8 and 120:8.^[5] The Psaltirea de la Voroneț has it about 1551–1558, Coresi's psalter of 1570 the bare form ieșire in Psalm 64:8, and the Psaltirea Scheiană, MDA2's first record, about 1573–1578.^[6][2] Tiktin glosses the old senses as “way out”, “end” and “Exodus”.^[3]

Semantic evolution

In the Bucharest Bible of 1688 the second book of Moses is called Ieșirea, a translation of “Exodus”, and the Lexicon de la Buda of 1825 gives both senses, a going out and the book.^[7][8] The 17th-century Slavonic–Romanian lexicons use it to render Old Church Slavonic исходъ (ishodŭ).^[9]

Scriban records the senses of a sortie of the besieged, the permission to go out given to pupils, a bowel movement as a euphemism, and figuratively a verbal attack on someone.^[10] MDA2 lists many set phrases: ieșire la pensie “retirement”, ieșire în lume “a first appearance in society”, ieșirea sufletului “death”.^[2] DEX 2009 adds the technical senses of electrical engineering, electronics and computing, where it renders output.^[11]
