In oracle bone script ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): 木 (“wood”) + 示 (“altar”) – burning of wood to consult the gods. Originally the same character as 奈

In the modern form 木 has corrupted into 出, thus the character can be interpreted as phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *sqʰluds): phonetic 出 (OC *kʰljuds, *kʰljud) + semantic 示 (“altar”).
