I believe the answer is:

dated

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'somewhat obsolete' is the first definition.
'dated' can be an answer for 'obsolete' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'somewhat' bit.

'went out' is the second definition.
(dating is a kind of going out)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dated that I've seen before include "Walked out with" , "Outmoded" , "Met socially by arrangement" , "Old-fashioned" , "Old fashioned" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
