Etymology: "Outgivings" is the plural of "outgiving," a noun formed from the verb "give out" with the suffix "-ing," which turns a verb into a noun for an action or its result. The plural form is the one most readers meet, usually in the sense of expenditures or the expression of feelings. Here the word is used of emotions people share, a sense that grows directly out of the physical idea of giving something out, as in handing it to others.
