issue
{{11}}issue (n.) c.1300, "exit, a going out, flowing out," from O.Fr. issue "a way out, exit," from fem. pp. of issir "to go out," from L. exire (Cf. It. uscire, Catalan exir), from ex- "out" (see EX- (Cf. ex-)) + ire "to go," from PIE root *ei- "to go" (see ION (Cf. ion)). Meaning "discharge of blood or other fluid from the body" is from 1520s; sense of "offspring" is from late 14c. Meaning "outcome of an action" is attested from late 14c., probably from French; legal sense of "point in question at the conclusion of the presentation by both parties in a suit" (early 14c. in Anglo-French) led to transferred sense of "a point to be decided" (1836). Meaning "action of sending into publication or circulation" is from 1833.
{{12}}issue (v.) c.1300, "to flow out," from ISSUE (Cf. issue) (n.) or else from O.Fr. issu, pp. of issir; sense of "to send out authoritatively" is from c.1600; that of "to supply (someone with something)" is from 1925. Related: Issued; issuing.
