It can be reasoned by two meanings: place or time.

Examples for "place":

  • anbauen: you put something there (either to grow sth. (put the seed/plants in the ground) or to mount (add another piece), German: etwas da heran bauen.

Examples for "time":

  • ausbauen: you continue to build, means out out of a certain time until the end
  • anbraten: you start to roast (the beginning, German: Anfang)
  • ausbraten: you continue to roast, means out out of a certain time until the end
