What does 出かける mean and in what contexts is it used?

Question:

Example sentences would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Answer:

It means to get out of somewhere. And it's usually written the way you have it there (出かける) but there's also "出掛ける".

For example:

Let's go out to the city ===> 街に出掛けよう。( machi ni dekakeyou).

I know it because i made a question like this and in one sentence there was the word " Dekakeru" and someone explained it to me.
