Definition
逃亡 (táowáng) means 'to flee, to go into exile' — it emphasizes fleeing from danger or persecution, often over a longer period or distance. It is stronger and more formal than 逃 (táo) or 逃跑 (táopǎo), which are everyday words for running away; 逃亡 carries a sense of seeking refuge or exile.
