output
When used as a noun to describe the amount produced, "output" is usually uncountable (e.g., "The output was high"), but can be countable when referring to specific types of production. In computing contexts, it is often paired with its opposite, "input." While "input" refers to what goes into a system, "output" refers to what comes out. As a verb, "output" is most commonly used in technical or professional settings, particularly in computer programming and manufacturing.
