A bail-out is money given or lent to a person or a company that is in deep trouble, so they do not collapse.

The word comes from the everyday verb to bail someone out — to pull them out of trouble — and the noun kept that picture.

The feeling is always the same — you were sinking, and someone pulled you up with money.
