إِخْراج is the verbal noun of أَخْرَجَ, the causative (form IV) of the verb خَرَجَ, 'to go out.' The triliteral root خ-ر-ج carries the core sense of exiting or coming out. The form IV pattern adds a causative layer, so the verb means 'to make go out, to take out,' and the maṣdar names that act. From this base the word extended to expulsion, extraction, and the bringing out of a finished film, that is, direction.
