shown out

Guided to exit

Shown out means escorted to the exit, typically by a host or staff member after a visit or meeting concludes: The butler showed them out.

The phrase implies a formal or courteous departure, where someone guides a guest to the door rather than simply saying goodbye.

To be shown out can also suggest being dismissed, sometimes abruptly: Security showed him out after the outburst.
