About

The word 出庭 is formed by combining the character 出, meaning "to go out" or "to exit", with 庭, meaning "court" or "courthouse". This creates a verb-object compound where 出 functions as the verb indicating movement, and 庭 serves as the destination object, resulting in a literal sense of "to go out to court" that specifically denotes appearing before a judicial authority.
