From Old French 'hors mis', literally 'placed outside'. 'Hors' (outside) comes from Latin 'foris' (out of doors, abroad). 'Mis' is the past participle of 'mettre' (to put, to place), which comes from Latin 'mittere' (to send, to throw). The combination thus indicates something that has been 'sent out' or 'placed outside' of a general consideration or group. The usage as a preposition developed over time to signify exclusion. The term has been in use in French since at least the 14th century, evolving from its literal meaning to a more abstract exclusionary sense. Its construction is similar to other Romance language exclusionary terms that combine a word for 'out' with a past participle of 'to put' or 'to send'.
