Can 退社 be used like a verb meaning “to check out” of a hotel etc?


This is a followup to my previous question, [Can 受付 be used like a verb
meaning “to check in” at a hotel
etc?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/78276/can-%E5%8F%97%E4%BB%98-be-
used-like-a-verb-meaning-to-check-in-at-a-hotel-etc)

I've just been informed by a person who provided the translation of "check in"
that 退社 would be the pure Japanese word for "to check out".

I can only find it listed as meaning "to leave the office at the end of the
day" or "to resign from a job".

Those seem semantically pretty close but do people actually use this, or did
they formerly use this for checking out of a hotel, ryokan, etc?




The correct term to use for 'check out' is チェックアウト. 退社 is not used for that.
The kanji 社 indicates that the 'leaving' is directly related to work or the
workplace, not a hotel/ryokan etc.

None of the standard dictionaries list the meaning relating to hotels/ryokan
which you suggest. See
[here](https://kotobank.jp/word/%E9%80%80%E7%A4%BE-557221) for examples of the
word being used from the year 1899, with the meaning corresponding to the
current dictionary definitions.
