outgoings
支出、経費
解説 Definition
outgoings は主にイギリス英語で、家計や会社が家賃、光熱費、仕入れなどのために定期的に支払うお金、つまり支出や経費を表す名詞。通常は複数形で用いられ、収入と対比して語られることが多い。
Outgoings are the money that a person or organization regularly spends on bills, rent, supplies, and other costs. The word is common in everyday and business discussions about budgets and finances. It is usually used in the plural to talk about total expenses rather than one single payment.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
outgoings は out + go で「外へ出ていくもの」と見て、まず money goes out を思い浮かべると定着しやすいです。income が「入ってくるお金」なら、outgoings はその反対で「出ていくお金」。特に rent, bills, running costs など毎月・定期的に出る支払いと結びつけると覚えやすいです。主にイギリス英語で、家計や会社の話で in income and outgoings の形でよく並びます。単数でなく複数形が基本な点も要注意です。
Split it into out + goings: this is money going out. If income is money coming in, outgoings are the opposite. It is often used for regular costs like rent, bills, and other monthly payments, and it is usually plural.
