transitive verb, godan verb

Explanation

This word consists of kanji with hiragana attached. Because the hiragana ends with an sound, you know this word is a verb. You already learned that 出る means "to exit," and this is the transitive version of that. In other words, you're doing the action of causing something else to exit, so this word means to take out or to hand out. Think of it like this: when you take out your wallet, you're causing it to exit your pocket.
