خَارِجِىٌّ
1.
One who makes himself a lord, or chief, (S, K, TA,) and goes forth [from his party, or fellows], and becomes elevated, or exalted, (TA,) without his having noble ancestry: (S, K, TA:) and it is also said to signify anything that surpasses, or excels its kind and fellows: (TA:) according to Abu-l-'Alà, in ancient times, before El-Islám, it was applied to a courageous, or generous, man, the son of a coward or niggard, and the like:
2.
and in like manner, to a A fleet, or swift, horse; or one excellent in running; or that outstrips others; not the offspring of a sire and dam possessing the like qualities: [and in the TA, the coll. gen. n. خَارِجِيَّةٌ is explained as applied to such horses:]
3.
then, in the times of El-Islám, it was applied to A rebel: and a heretic. (Ham p. 188.) [The plural] الخَوَارِجُ is the appellation of A party [of heretics, or schismatics,] of those following erroneous opinions, having a singular, or particular, persuasion: (K:) they are [said by some to be] the
حَرُورِيَّة [q. v.]; and the
خَارِجِيَّ
are [said to be] a sect of them; and they consist of seven sects: (TA:) they were so called because they went forth from, (as in one copy of the K,) or against, (as in other copies,) the rest of the people; (K, TA;) or from the religion, or from the truth, or from 'Alee after [the battle of] Siffeen. (TA.)

Hence, الأُمُورُ الخَارِجِيَّةُ (assumed tropical:) The things that are external, or extrinsic, to the mind; the things that are considered objectively; real things; opposed to الأُمُورُ الذِّهْنِيَّةُ. (See also خَارِجٌ.)]
