About

The word 逃犯 is formed by combining two meaningful characters: 逃 (táo), which means "to flee" or "to escape", and 犯 (fàn), which means "criminal" or "offender". When placed together, they create a new, single concept where the first character describes the action or state of the second, literally picturing a "fleeing criminal", which directly and intuitively conveys the meaning of "fugitive".
