The verb ausschreiben is a versatile German term with several distinct meanings depending on the context:

To write out in full: This refers to writing something completely instead of using abbreviations, symbols, or digits (e.g., writing "sechs" instead of "6").
To advertise or announce (publicly): This is used when a company or authority publicly invites applications or bids for a job, a contract, or a competition.
To fill out completely: Sometimes used to describe filling out a form entirely or writing a document to its conclusion.
Medical context: To issue a prescription or a sick note (e.g., "einen Patienten krankschreiben").
To delete by writing: An older or specific administrative sense where something is removed from a list or ledger by writing it off.

Grammar: It is a separable verb (trennbares Verb). In a sentence, the prefix "aus-" moves to the end (e.g., "Ich schreibe die Zahl aus"). It is a strong verb; its principal parts are: ausschreiben (infinitive), schrieb aus (past tense), ausgeschrieben (past participle).
Origin: The word is a combination of the prefix aus (out) and the verb schreiben (to write). Literally, it means "to write out."
