About

The word 回避 is formed by combining two characters, each contributing a layer of meaning to create a unified concept. The first character, 回, pictorially suggests a revolving path or the idea of turning around. The second, 避, conveys the act of stepping aside to avoid something. When fused, they visually and conceptually depict the action of turning around and stepping away, effectively creating the comprehensive idea of evading, shunning, or deliberately keeping a distance from a person, issue, or situation.
