The word 逃跑 is formed by combining two individual characters, each contributing an essential action to the overall concept. The first character, 逃 (táo), means "to flee" or "to escape", establishing the core idea of getting away from something. It is joined with 跑 (pǎo), which means "to run", specifying the manner of the escape. Together, they create a single, more vivid concept meaning "to run away" or "to take flight", where the second character intensifies and illustrates the action introduced by the first.
