outlets
Places for plugs
Outlets are places where something exits or is released.
An electrical outlet provides access to power.
A retail outlet sells goods, often at reduced prices: factory outlet, outlet mall.
A media outlet distributes news or entertainment.
Figuratively, an outlet is a means of expression or release: Exercise is my outlet for stress.
Rivers have outlets where they empty into larger bodies of water.
