免
miǎn
to excuse sb
to exempt; to remove or dismiss from office; to avoid; to avert; to escape; to be prohibited
blade (⺈) + opening (口) + person (儿) = escape or exemption
The character depicts a person (儿) slipping out through a gap or opening (口) beneath a blade (⺈) — wriggling free just in time. That image of narrow escape anchors the core meaning: to be let off, exempted, or to avert danger.
