I will try but anything I come up with would have to be my speculation which wouldn't be doing anybody any favours should it prove to be completely wide of the mark.

In this case, the phrase to be "put out" is also generally used to mean "discomforted", "bothered" or "imposed upon". This could have arisen from the expression "put [possessive personal pronoun] nose out of joint", which sounds as if its origin might have been rather dramatic.

Does this help?
