proper usage of 出かける


What is the proper usage of 出かける because most of the time I am only using 行く
or 出る

for example 川へせんたくしに行く and I don't get its difference from 川へせんたくに出かける

thanks for the responds




行く means "go", 出る means "leave, depart" and 出かける means "leave this place for
some errand to do elsewhere".

So 川へせんたくしに行く and 川へせんたくに出かける (as well as 川へせんたくしに出かける) make hardly any
difference, but you wouldn't be likely to say 地獄{じごく}へ出かける unless you're
something like "[underworld
detective](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YuYu_Hakusho)".
