Adjective + 出す？


Recently I watched this and the translator gives me something I didn't know. I
know that a verb + 出す means to start.....

> 走り出す - To start to run  
>  逃げ出す - To start to escape  
>  登り出す - To start to climb

But what I saw is 救い出してあげる (what it's root form is 救い出す, isn't it?)

So, the question. Does 出す have a different meaning when is next to an
adjective い/な?

Thanks in advance for any help you can bring me! Cheers




To add to @Locksleyu's answer, 出す in "the continuative form of a verb (動詞の連用形)
+ 出す" can mean either:

> ㋐ そうすることによって外や表面に現れるようにする意を表す。「しぼり―・す」「見つけ―・す」  
>  to make something reveal/appear outside or on the surface by doing the
> action, eg 「しぼり **出す** 」(squeeze **out** ) 「見つけ **出す** 」(find **out** )

or

> ㋑ その動作を始める意を表す。「降り―・す」「笑い―・す」  
>  to start the action, eg 「降り出す」(start to fall/rain) 「笑い出す」(begin to laugh)

(Source: [「出す」 #４（動詞の連用形に付いて） in
デジタル大辞泉](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/jn/136563/meaning/m0u/))

The 出す in [救]{すく}い出す is used in the sense of ㋐, "to save/help (someone)
**out** (of somewhere / trouble / difficult situation)", rather than "start to
help."

Here are some more examples:

> ㋐:  
>  [取]{と}り出す -- take out  
>  [引]{ひ}き出す -- pull out  
>  [呼]{よ}び出す -- tell (someone) to come; summon  
>  [助]{たす}け出す -- help (someone out of...)  
>  ㋑:  
>  [泣]{な}き出す -- start to cry  
>  [歩]{ある}き出す -- start to walk  
>  [歌]{うた}い出す -- start to sing

(Some ~~出す compound verbs have both meanings, eg 逃げ出す can mean ㋐ get away
from... / out of... ㋑ start running away)
