Similarly, "avgående styrelse" refers to a board of directors whose term is ending. The term emphasizes the transition and the handover of responsibilities.

The word is also used geographically to indicate a departure point or direction. For instance, "avgående tåg" means a departing train, indicating the train that is about to leave the station or is on its way out. In a similar vein, "avgående post" refers to outgoing mail.

Figuratively, "avgående" can describe a situation or a phase that is coming to an end. For example, one might speak of "avgående år" to refer to the year that is concluding. It signifies the cessation of a current state and the anticipation of a new one. The core meaning of "avgående" is always related to movement away from a point or a state of being.
