What Chevelle said. Except, washout is when the underside of the wing's trailing edge, at the last few bays, sweeps upward slightly in relation to the inner trailing edge. By adding washout, the air slips out from under the outer edge of the wing more quickly than the inner trailing edge, and that helps reduce tip stalls.
