Etymology
Compound of 御 (o-, honorific prefix) + 出で (ide), the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “stem form”) of Old Japanese 出づ (idu), antecedent of modern 出る deru “to go out, to appear”.[1][2][3] This ide form is not found in isolation in modern Japanese.
Pronunciation
Noun
お出で • (oide)
- (honorific) the act of going somewhere
- (honorific) the act of coming somewhere
- (honorific) the act of being somewhere
Usage notes
As listed above, oide can variously mean going, coming, or being in one place. Which meaning is intended depends on context. Compare いらっしゃる (irassharu) of similarly broad and context-dependent meaning.
Verb
お出で • (oide)
- (honorific) go, come, be: short for various longer verbal phrases ending in request or command words, such as なさい (nasai, polite command suffix) or 下さい (kudasai, “please”), or honorific endings, such as になる (ni naru, “to become, to do”).
- あの二人はまた外国にお出でかな。
- Ano futari wa mata gaikoku ni oide kana.
- So those two are going overseas again, huh.

- Kochira e oide yo.
- Come here, will you.

Usage notes
The command and request senses are more colloquial, and are often used by parents to their children. The honorific sense can, with certain additional honorific endings, be used to describe the activities of even the imperial family.
