Note
A plural that belongs only to the noun, never to the verb form spelled the same way (she was outing him). It covers every noun meaning at once: family excursions, an actor's or athlete's public appearances (her third outing as the detective), and the exposure of someone's secret, whether sexuality or undercover work. The form never tells you which is meant; the surrounding words do.
