Εκδρομή comes from the ancient Greek verb ἐκτρέχω, formed from the prefix ἐκ- (out) and the root of τρέχω (to run). The related noun δρομή means a running or a course. Together they gave the sense of a running out or setting out, which narrowed over time to mean a short trip or outing for pleasure.
