About

The word "避免" is formed by combining the character "避", meaning to evade or avoid, which itself consists of the radical "辶" denoting movement and the component "辟" primarily indicating sound, with the character "免", meaning to exempt or dismiss, originating from a pictographic representation of release. Together, these characters semantically reinforce each other to convey the meaning of avoiding or preventing something.
