出 is the kanji for exit, read で here as in 出る (to leave). かける adds the sense of setting off or starting an action. Together: leaving home to go somewhere, like shopping or a trip, rather than just stepping outside.
出 — foot 止 emerging from enclosure 凵
出 is a pictograph showing a foot or plant stepping out of a hollow or enclosure, depicting the act of going forth. The original sense of 'coming out' or 'emerging' has remained stable since oracle bone script. It now broadly means 'to exit, go out, or produce.'
