Etymology
This is a direct borrowing from English, used in Romanian since the late twentieth century in fashion, media, and youth speech. It functions as an invariable adjective, paired with its opposite "in" to mark what is currently popular versus what is not. The source is the English adverb "out," from Old English ut, from Proto-Germanic *ut-.
