outbound

Leaving the center

Outbound describes movement or travel directed away from a central point, origin, or home base.

An outbound flight departs from your location; outbound traffic flows away from a city center.

In business contexts, outbound often characterizes communications or efforts initiated by a company toward customers or prospects, as in outbound calls or outbound marketing, contrasted with inbound inquiries that customers initiate themselves.
