Definition
放出 is a compound verb built from 放 (to let go/to put) and the directional complement 出 (out). It means to let something out of a container, enclosure, or substance—physically releasing a bird from a cage, emitting gas from a pipe, or metaphorically releasing information. Because it is a resultative compound, you can insert 得 or 不 to form the potential: 放得出来 (can be let out) or 放不出来 (cannot be let out).
