A withdrawal or reversal of a commitment, agreement, or process that has already begun; in computing, a reversal of database changes.
From back (withdrawal) + out (away/exit), combining to mean 'getting out by going backward' or 'undoing something.'
Database backouts are controlled chaos—programmers can literally reverse hours of changes in seconds, making software development feel like it has an undo button that magic systems wish they had.
