Abbr. Ex or Exod. A book of the Bible. See Table at Bible.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ETYMOLOGY:
Late Latin, from Greek exodos : ex-, out ; see exo- + hodos, way, journey

Answer 2

Basically because people are dumb and don't know Greek. The only Apocalypse with which they were familiar is the Apocalypse of John the Divine of Patmos, and so they assume it means all the horror and destruction you find in Revelation and so eventually the term just came to mean horror and destruction because people were using it that way. Interesting side-note, a lot of words have little to no resemblance to their original meaning. Like "silly" originally meant "blessed" (anyone familiar with the Seiligh and Unseiligh elves?).

Answer 3

A departure, usually of a large group of people. Although the word itself is part of the English language.
