The prefix ex- first appeared in English words in the Middle English in words borrowed from French. It comes from the Latin where it was both a prefix and a preposition. Later in the Middle English period it became a productive prefix. It is akin to Ancient Greek (εκ-, εχ-, εχω-). Its meaning ranges from1. "out, away" (example , ex-dividend date)2. "up" (abstract meaning indicating increase or strengthening of a particular quality, often negative - sometimes called intensive) (example , )3. "former, prior" (examples , ) This is a much later development and did not exist in Latin.

This article is about the second book in the Torah. Discussion of the Exodus, a major event in the book, is in a separate article. For other uses of the name, see Exodus (disambiguation). Exodus is the second book of the Torah, the Tanakh, and the Old Testament. In Hebrew, it is called Shemot , based on its first words Ve-eleh shemot (Hebrew: ואלה שמות) (i.e., "And these are the names"). The Septuagint designates the second book of the Pentateuch as "Exodus" (Greek: ), meaning "departure" or "out-going". The Latin translation adopted the name, which passed into other languages.
