farmout

/fˈɑɹmaʊt/ noun

The act of subcontracting or outsourcing.

Word Origin Farmout comes from farm, which originally meant a fixed payment or lease — from Latin firma 'contract, settlement' — and out. So to farm out work is to lease it to someone else. The word farm itself shifted from 'lease' to 'land leased for agriculture,' and we still see the original sense in farmout. The same firma gives us firm and confirm.

noun The act of subcontracting or outsourcing. countable
