Out of a list

When someone says some item is out of a list, would he or she mean the item is not in the list or from the list?

  

Top answer

It is not a clear thing to say. It seems it could mean that the item has been retrieved from the list (and still exists in the list), or removed from the list (and hence no longer exists in the list).
