Definition
飘逸 describes a graceful, flowing elegance that seems unconfined — used for loose hair or clothing that moves beautifully in the wind, for calligraphy strokes that feel effortless, and for a person’s temperament that is free and unconventional. It combines the sense of floating (飘) with being at ease (逸). You'll hear it most often in descriptions of appearance, art, and character, never for mechanical or static things.
