lead-out
Guide someone out
A lead-out is a concluding section or transition that eases out of something—the opposite of a lead-in.
In cycling, a lead-out is a tactical maneuver where teammates ride at high speed ahead of a sprinter, shielding them from wind before peeling away near the finish: His lead-out man delivered him perfectly for the sprint.
In broadcasting and music, a lead-out is the closing segment or fade that brings a piece to its end.
