About

The word "摆脱" is formed through the conceptual combination of its two component characters: "摆", which carries the idea of moving something aside, shaking off, or disentangling, and "脱", which means to shed, escape, or break free from. Together, they create a compound that visually and notionally progresses from the active, effortful motion of dislodging ("摆") to the resultant state of complete separation and liberation ("脱"), forming a complete narrative of actively ridding oneself of a burden or constraint.
