The Chinese word 脱 means “to take off” or “to remove”. It is commonly used to refer to the act of removing clothing or other items from the body, such as taking off a coat or removing a bandage. It can also be used in a figurative sense, such as “to break free” or “to escape” from a situation or relationship. For example, one might say “我想脱离这个困境” which means “I want to break free from this predicament”.
