to put on sale

🏷️ 売る (sell) + 出す (put out) = put out for selling, so: to put on sale

出す (dasu) means to put out or take out. Combined with 売る (sell), it means putting goods out so buyers can purchase them, which is to launch a product on sale or to market it.

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.'
