Differences between 出発する and 出る


Both mean "to leave" but when do you use one instead of another ? Does
**出発する** implies "leaving and go on a trip" ? Or maybe is one more formal than
the other ?




出発 refers specifically to _departure_. 出る, meanwhile, just generally means _to
go out, to come out_ , and could be used in reference to belly buttons,
dresser drawers, stepping out into the yard, going onstage, or leaving a
bathtub, among other potential contexts. You'd never use 出発する for leaving the
bathtub, unless you're being silly. For heading out onto the town, or to do
errands, etc., a better verb might be 出かける.
