Definitie
"To pass out" means to lose consciousness temporarily, often due to exhaustion, illness, or lack of oxygen. It describes the act of fainting or becoming unconscious without warning, as in the phrase 'They pass out from exhaustion.'
Etymologie
The phrase "to pass out" originated in the early 19th century, deriving from the idea of 'passing' beyond a state of awareness or consciousness. The term 'pass' in this context means to go beyond or through, and 'out' emphasizes leaving the current state, resulting in the combined meaning of losing consciousness.
