可以想成一個念頭離開嘴巴的那一刻。它本來在心裡，現在出來了，變成別人聽得見的聲音。從這一刻往兩邊看：一邊是「出來」這件事，一邊是「出來的那個東西」。From the word’s history
The word is utter (to say) plus the ending -ance, which turns an action into a noun; Middle English wrote it utteraunce. An ending like that naturally names both the act and its result, which is exactly the two-way split the word still has.
這個字是 utter（說出）加上字尾 -ance，把動作變成名詞，中古英語寫作 utteraunce。這種字尾本來就同時能指「動作」和「動作的結果」，正好對上它今天分成的兩邊。
