Barred from the youth centre (3)

I believe the answer is:

out

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

'barred' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'from the youth centre' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'OUT' is hidden within 'youth centre'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for out that I've seen before include "Known" , "A way to escape" , "jury considering verdict" , "See 19" , "In error" .)
