The word 离去 is formed by combining two characters that each convey a stage of departure: 离 (lí) means to leave, part from, or become distant from a point or person, establishing the initial act of separation. This is then followed by 去 (qù), which means to go away or to move from here to elsewhere, completing the action by emphasizing the ensuing movement into distance. Together, they create a single, fluid concept that visually and notionally moves from detachment to exit, painting a complete picture of someone or something not just leaving a point, but actively receding from it.
