Endocytosis is when things move into the cell, and exocytosis is when things leave the cell. Both processes involve vesicular transport, either clathrin coated vesicles or caveolae. For endocytosis, the cargo binds to a receptor on the membrane, which either causes the formation of a clathrin coated vesicle or a caveolae. The vesicle then moves into the cell. With exocytosis, the vesicle is formed from the ER or golgi, then moves out to the membrane.

Think about the words enter and exit.
.Endocytosis (en-doh-sy-TOH-sis) is a process whereby cells absorb material (molecules such as proteins) from the outside by engulfing it with their cell membrane. It is used by all cells of the body because most substances important to them are polar and consist of big molecules, and thus cannot pass through the hydrophobic plasma membrane. The function of endocytosis is the opposite of exocytosis.

Endocytosis means taken in, to engulf, whereas exocytosis means to let go...to release
