避
bì
to avoid
to shun; to flee; to escape; to keep away from; to leave; to hide from
walk away (辶) + sound bì (辟) = to avoid or flee
辶 carries the meaning: movement along a path, here the path taken away from something unwanted. 辟 mainly contributes the sound bì; the walking radical does the semantic work of turning aside or stepping away.
