Standard kanji spelling for the projecting part sense; also used for the temporal senses.
Alternate kanji spelling; 端 (edge/end) fits the temporal senses well.
Compound of 出 (で, 'coming out') + 鼻 (はな, 'nose, tip') with a geminated consonant for emphasis. The temporal senses likely developed from the idea of the 'tip' or 'beginning' of an action.
