flyout

Out from caught ball

A flyout is a menu or panel that appears when triggered, extending outward from an interface element—typically sliding or expanding from a button, icon, or sidebar.

Common in software and web design: Hover over the icon to see the flyout menu.

In baseball, a flyout is an out recorded when a fielder catches a batted ball before it hits the ground.
