Vocabulary

"from" and "out of "

Both "from"and "out of " can be used to introduce a reason or cause, for example, i didn't pass out from the pain; and I helped him out of pity. I wonder if they can be used interchangeably.

Thanks a lot!

In both of your examples you could substitute "because of," but "from" and "out of" can't be exchanged here. Perhaps you can suggest a few more examples which may clear up the difference between the two expressions.
