From the Greek preposition ek/ex (ἐκ/ἐξ), meaning "out of," and noun hodos (ὁδός), meaning "road," an exodus originally referred to any "going out," including military expeditions. In a biblical context, the Exodus refers to the Hebrews' journey out of Egypt, as described in the appropriately named Book of Exodus.
