How it's used
Focuses on finding a way forward when facing a dead end or a difficult situation. It is frequently used in professional or life planning contexts to describe finding a new direction or a viable alternative. While it can mean a literal exit, it is far more common in abstract senses like career prospects or problem solving.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 解決方法, which specifically refers to a method to fix a problem. 出路 implies a broader path or a way out of a predicament rather than just a single technical fix.
