Definition
打出 is a resultative verb compound formed from 打 ('to strike, to do') and 出 ('out, outward'). It literally means 'to strike out' but in everyday usage appears in several verb-object collocations where the specific meaning depends on the object: playing a card (打出牌), putting up a sign or slogan (打出招牌, 打出标语), and building a reputation or brand (打出名声, 打出品牌). The common thread is causing something to come into view or become established through some action.
