About
The word 撤离 is formed by combining two characters, each contributing a distinct but related meaning to create a new, unified concept. The first character, 撤, carries the core idea of "to remove", "to withdraw", or "to pull back". It is paired with 离, which means "to leave" or "to depart from". When merged, the action of 撤 (a deliberate, often organized pulling back) is directed toward the state of 离 (leaving a place). Thus, the compound naturally and intuitively expresses the complete idea of "to evacuate" or "to withdraw from", depicting a purposeful exit or retreat.
