Word origin
The word 'outlying' originated from the verb 'outlie' which means 'to be situated far from the center'. It has been in use since the late 16th century, primarily in the context of describing areas or things that are located at a distance from the central point. Over time, 'outlying' has evolved to also describe things that do not conform to the usual pattern or behavior.
