About

The word 躲避 is formed by combining two characters with closely related meanings to create a single, reinforced concept. The first character, 躲 (duǒ), primarily carries the meaning of physically dodging or hiding one's body. The second character, 避 (bì), carries the more general meaning of evading or steering clear of something. When placed together, they merge into a composite idea that encompasses both the physical act of taking cover and the intentional action of avoidance, resulting in the comprehensive meaning "to dodge, to evade, or to take shelter from".
