About

The word 闪开 is formed by combining the character 闪, which depicts a person (人) moving quickly under a doorway (门), conveying the idea of a sudden darting movement or flash, with the character 开, which visually represents two hands removing a bar from a gate, symbolizing to open, part, or make way. Together, they create a dynamic conceptual image of instantly moving aside or darting out of the way to open a path, effectively picturing the physical action of clearing a space through rapid, evasive motion.
