Learn in the textbookThe Five Basic Functions of a Computer

DefinitionOutput (出力) is the function that sends the results of processing inside the computer out in a form people or external devices can use.

ExplanationOutput is handled by output devices, for example a display that shows things on screen, a printer that puts them on paper, or a speaker that produces sound. What they send out is data held in storage, such as the results of computation.

AnalogyIt is like the pickup counter that hands finished goods from the workshop to the customer.
