The Chinese word 摆脱 (bǎi tuō) is a verb that means "to get rid of; to shake off; to escape from". It is composed of two characters: 摆 (bǎi), which means "to wave; to shake; to arrange", and 脱 (tuō), which means "to take off; to remove; to escape". The original meaning of 摆脱 is "to shake off", which can be extended to mean "to get rid of" or "to escape from". For example, we can say 摆脱贫困 (bǎi tuō pín kùn) to mean "to escape from poverty", or 摆脱烦恼 (bǎi tuō fán nǎo) to mean "to get rid of烦恼 (fán nǎo) or troubles".
