躲
duǒ · HSK 5
hide
🙈 身 (body) + 朵 (duǒ, flower-cluster) — body tucked away like petals; 朵 also gives the sound
躲 = 身 'body' + 朵 'duǒ' (a measure word for clusters/flowers). 朵 is purely phonetic here, lending the duǒ reading. Memory hook: the body (身) folds itself small to dodge or hide.
躲 — body 身 + duo 朵 (phonetic)
A semantic-phonetic compound. The left side 身 (body) gives the meaning, since hiding involves moving one's body out of sight. The right side 朵 supplies the sound 'duǒ'. The character thus literally suggests 'to move the body aside,' extended to mean hide, dodge, or avoid.
