“out of” in Latin

Riddle & Arnold A Copious and Critical English–Latin Lexicon, 1864

out of
Beyond, away from, extra (with accusative): out of the house, foris (without motion): foras (with motion): out of the country, peregre (e.g., habitare, abire, proficisci): to be out of bow-shot, extra teli jactum esse: to be out of one’s mind or senses, sui or mentis non compotem esse; non compotem esse animo: non apud se esse (comedy).
Beyond; i. e., exceeding: it is out of my power, nequeo, non possum, non data est alicujus rei potestas or copia; non valeo (I have not power): out of season, alieno or haud opportuno tempore; non in tempore; intempestive (at an unseasonable time).
From, e or ex; de; rarely a or ab. The preposition remains untranslated after a Latin verb compounded with it; e.g., to get out of a ship, nave egredi.
By reason of, on account of, e or ex; a or ab; per (on account of, by reason of): propter (because of). Sometimes the simple ablative is used; frequently, however, with the participles ductus or adductus (led); motus or permotus (moved); inductus (induced); impulsus or incitatus (urged); incensus, inflammatus (kindled, inflamed); coactus (obliged, compelled); captus (taken); impeditus (hindered); e.g., out of a taste for philosophy, philosophiae studio ductus: out of shame, pudore adductus: out of fear, metu; propter timorem; metu coactus, permotus.
