Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from Middle English, combining the adverb 'out' (from Old English 'ūt') and the verb 'casten' (from Old Norse 'kasta', meaning to throw). It evolved from the literal sense of being thrown out or expelled to a broader metaphorical term for anyone rejected or ostracized by society, a concept powerfully reinforced by the Biblical figure Ishmael.
