popout

Easy infield catch

A popout is something that pops out or is designed to pop out.

In baseball, it's a fly ball caught for an out: He hit a popout to center field.

In design and computing, popout describes elements that emerge from a surface or appear when triggered—a popout menu, a popout panel, a book with popout illustrations.

As an adjective: a popout window, popout ads.
