Word origin

The compound joins 售 (shòu, "sell") + 完 (wán, "finish"), so the act of selling is presented as complete and the supply as exhausted.

Usage tips

  • English distinguishes the event from the resulting state: a shop can sell out of tickets, while a sign describes the tickets as unavailable.
