Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the ancient Greek exodos, meaning 'a going out', composed of ek ('out of') and hodos ('way' or 'journey'). It entered late Old English and Latin via biblical contexts, initially referring specifically to the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, before broadening in modern secular usage to denote any mass departure of people.
