Etymology: "Outgone" is simply the past participle of "outgo," so its story is really the story of that verb. "Outgo" was formed in English from "out-" (meaning away from, or toward the outside) and "go," and it descends from Old English "ūtgān," meaning "to go out." Middle English had "outgon" with a wide range of senses: to depart, to escape, to emerge, and even, of a sword, to be drawn from its scabbard. The modern noun "outgo," meaning expenditure or outlay, is a later development. It was probably modelled on "income," which pairs neatly with it as the money going out to match the money coming in. The verb then gave its past participle, which is the form you are asking about.
