About

The word "走人" is formed by combining the verb "走" (meaning to walk or to leave) with the noun "人" (meaning person), creating a verb-object compound where "走" acts on "人". This structure literally interprets as "to walk the person", but it functions idiomatically to mean "to leave" or "to go away", typically used in informal speech.
