turn out

Prove to be

Turn out has two clusters of meaning.

One involves producing or appearing: a factory turns out widgets, voters turn out for elections, crowds turn out to watch a parade.

The other involves results: It turned out he was right all along, How did the cake turn out?

To be well turned out is to be well dressed.

A turnout is attendance or voter participation.
