Definition
竞逐 is a formal, literary verb meaning 'to compete for' or 'to vie for', often used in contexts of intense rivalry — political campaigns, market competition, or sports championships. It carries a stronger sense of active pursuit and struggle than the more common 竞争. You'll see it in news headlines and formal writing, not everyday conversation.
