meaningphrases
I didn't understand the usage. What does it mean and when can we use it?
Best Answer
It depends on the context, but the most common meaning is "having a significant effect on the moral status of an action". For example, "Is it morally important whether I kill someone or let them die?" This asks whether the moral status of an action can be different depending on whether it was active (killing someone) or passive (letting them die).

It means ‘take revenge’, as in this quotation from William Thackeray in 1849: ‘You see if I don't pay you out after school—you sneak, you.’ It was still being used well into the twentieth century. It is appropriate in the work of the Rev. Awdry, but seems to be in decline, as this nGram shows (subject to the ususal cautions about nGrams).
