Usage notes
De denotes the go out|going out, departure, removal, or separation|separating of an object from any fixed point (it occupies a middle place between ab#Latin|ab (away from) which denotes a mere external departure, and ex#Latin|ex (out of) which signifies from the interior of a thing. Hence verbs compounded with de' are constructed not only with de, but quite as frequently with ab#Latin|ab and ex#Latin|ex; and, on the other hand, those compounded with ab#Latin|ab and ex#Latin|ex often have the terminus a quo indicated by de).
