The Chinese character 躲 (duǒ) for "to hide" is composed of two parts: the radical 辵 (chuò), which indicates movement, and the phonetic component 朵 (duǒ), which represents the sound. The original meaning of 躲 was "to walk quickly", which evolved to mean "to avoid" or "to hide".The character 辵 is a pictograph of a person walking, and it is used in many other characters related to movement, such as 走 (zǒu, "to walk"), 跑 (pǎo, "to run"), and 跳 (tiào, "to jump"). The character 朵 is a pictograph of a flower, and it is used in many other characters related to plants, such as 花 (huā, "flower"), 草 (cǎo, "grass"), and 木 (mù, "tree").The combination of 辵 and 朵 in the character 躲 creates a vivid image of someone quickly moving away from something, which captures the essence of the meaning "to hide". This character is commonly used in everyday speech and writing, and it is an important part of the Chinese language.
