    out

    public static final PrintStream out
    The "standard" output stream. This stream is already open and ready to accept output data. Typically this stream corresponds to display output or another output destination specified by the host environment or user.
    For simple stand-alone Java applications, a typical way to write a line of output data is:

    System.out.println(data)

    See the println methods in class PrintStream.
    JavaDoc


    Out is a static final field (ie, variable)in System class which is of the type PrintStream (a built-in class, contains methods to print the different data values). static fields and methods must be accessed by using the class name, so ( System.out ).

    out here denotes the reference variable of the type PrintStream class.
