Etymology: "Outgoes" is the plural of "outgo," a verb meaning to go beyond or surpass, formed from the prefix "out-" and "go." English has used "outgo" since the Middle Ages with the sense of going out or exceeding, and the noun sense of expenditure developed from the idea of money going out of a holder's possession. The plural "outgoes" is the form of the noun used for outlays, as in the monetary sense listed here, while the verb form also carries the older meaning of surpassing a limit or amount.
