Explanation

This word consists of kanji with hiragana attached. Because the hiragana ends with an sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means "exit" and this is kind of a verb form of this. The word means to take out or to hand out, so it's like you're doing the action of causing something else to exit (rather than exiting yourself).

In other words, this verb is transitive, like most verbs ending in . You can remember this because the hiragana is like the word "sue." You're taking out way too much of something, and someone's going to sue () you for it.
