逃避
táobì · HSK 7
to escape; to evade
🏃 逃 = flee/run away + 避 = avoid/dodge = escape and evade
逃 (táo) is the run-away radical 辶 plus 兆 for sound; 避 (bì) is the same walking radical 辶 plus 辟. Both share the 辶 motion component, so the whole word is two kinds of getting-away stacked together: dodge it, then bolt.
逃 — 辶 walk radical + 兆 zhào (phonetic)
逃 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The walking radical 辶 carries the meaning of motion or going, while 兆 supplies the sound. Together they convey the idea of moving away, hence 'to flee' or 'to escape'.
避 — 辟 (phonetic) + 辶 (walk radical)
避 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The walking radical 辶 gives the meaning 'go, move,' while 辟 (bì/pì) supplies the sound. Together they convey moving away from something — hence 'avoid, evade, shun.'
