About

The word 躲开 is formed by combining the character 躲, which pictorially suggests a person (身) hiding behind a tree or other object (朵), conveying the core idea of "dodging" or "avoiding", with the character 开, which fundamentally means "to open" or "to move apart". Together, they create a dynamic compound where 开 acts as a directional or resultative complement, extending the action of 躲 into the sense of "dodging away" or "getting clear of", thus transforming the static idea of hiding into an active motion of moving aside to avoid something.
