About

The word 取出 is formed by combining two characters, each representing a distinct step in a single coherent action. The first character, 取, means "to take" or "to get", depicting a hand (又) grasping an ear (耳, an ancient token for taking a trophy in battle). The second character, 出, means "to exit" or "to go out", originally a pictogram of a foot stepping out of a hollow or enclosure. When placed together, they create a logical sequence: first the action of grasping or acquiring (取), followed immediately by the action of moving it outward (出), thus forming the complete concept of "to take out".
