Etymology
The word comes from the Semitic root خ-ر-ج (kh-r-j), which carries the sense of going out or leaving. It follows the maf'al pattern that Arabic uses to form nouns of place, so the literal idea is the place of going out. From there it also took on the figurative sense of a way out of a difficulty.
