Release vs Pushout - What's the difference?

As nouns the difference between release and pushout

is that release is the event of setting (someone or something) free (eg hostages, slaves, prisoners, caged animals, hooked or stuck mechanisms) while pushout is (category theory) given a pair of morphisms

f:z\rightarrow x

and

g: z\rightarrow y

with a common domain, z'', their pushout is a pair of morphisms $i_1:x\rightarrow p$ and $i_2:y\rightarrow p$ as well as their common codomain, ''p'', such that the equation $i_1 \circ f = i_2 \circ g$ is satisfied, and for which there is the ''universal property'' that for any other object ''q for which there are also morphisms

j_1: x\rightarrow q

and

j_2: y\rightarrow q

; there is a unique morphism

u: p\rightarrow q

such that

u \circ i_1 = j_1

and

u \circ i_2 = j_2
