   Word Origin mid 16th century (as a stage direction): from Latin exit ‘he or she goes out’, third person singular present tense of exire, from ex- ‘out’ + ire ‘go’. The noun (late 16th century) is from Latin exitus ‘going out’, from the verb exire, and the other verb uses (early 17th century) derive from it.
