Money or goods given for free

Money, food, or other things that are given free to people or groups who need help, usually by the government or a charity.

用法パターン: [someone] gets a handout from [someone/somewhere]
よくある間違い:
Learners sometimes think "handout" only means free printed paper from a teacher. In news and politics, "handout" more often means money or goods given free, especially by the government or charities. Also, do not confuse the noun "a handout" with the phrasal verb "to hand out" (two words), which means to give things to many people.

aid (More general and often more neutral; can include money, services, or other support.) | donation (Emphasizes voluntary giving, often to charities, and is less likely to sound negative.) | freebie (Informal; something free, often as a gift or promotion, not always for people in need.)
対義語

Printed sheet given to audience

A piece of paper with printed information that a teacher or speaker gives to people in a class or meeting.

用法パターン: [someone] gives out handouts to [a group]
よくある間違い:
Learners sometimes think this meaning of "handout" is the same as the money or food given to poor people. In a school or office context, a "handout" almost always means a printed paper. Also, some learners incorrectly use "handout" as a verb (e.g., *"She will handout the papers"*); the correct verb is the phrasal verb "hand out" (two words): "She will hand out the papers."
類義語
worksheet (Usually a handout that includes exercises or questions for students to complete.) | leaflet (A small printed sheet given to the public; less tied to classrooms or meetings.)
対義語
textbook (A full book used for study, not a brief printed sheet for one class or meeting.)
