grow out of
No longer fit
To grow out of something is to become too large or mature for it.
Children grow out of clothes and shoes as they get bigger.
They also grow out of behaviors, interests, and fears: She grew out of her shyness by high school.
The phrase can describe origins—something that develops from something else: The project grew out of a casual conversation.
