What does OUTGO mean in Scrabble?
noun
The amount of money, resources or effort that goes out or is spent, especially as measured against income.
Accountants and household budgeters use the word outgo to name the far side of the ledger from earnings, letting a family or a government see whether more is flowing out than coming in. It sounds old-fashioned next to modern terms like expenses or outflow, yet outgo still turns up in reports that track spending against income over a year. An older sense of the same word once meant to overtake or surpass someone, though that verb use has faded from everyday speech.
