About

出于 is formed by combining the character 出, meaning "to exit" or "to go out", with the character 于, a preposition meaning "from" or "in". Together, they create a compound that literally conveys "exit from", used to indicate origin, reason, or motive, such as in expressions meaning "due to" or "out of". This construction directly links the action verb with the preposition to express a relational idea.
