ABSCOND Meaning and
Definition
-
Abscond is a verb that refers to the act of leaving a place hastily and secretly in order to avoid detection, capture, or punishment. It typically involves departing without permission or without fulfilling one's obligations. This word is commonly used to describe situations where someone flees from a legal or criminal context.
When someone absconds, they often try to cover their tracks and make it difficult for others to find them. They may conceal their identity or take precautions to avoid being tracked by authorities. Absconding can involve leaving behind responsibilities, debts, or promises, often leaving others to deal with the consequences.
This term is often associated with acts of evasion, escape, or elopement. For example, a criminal absconds from prison, an individual absconds with stolen funds, or a person absconds with a lover without notifying anyone.
Although abscond is generally used in relation to illegal actions, it can also be applied to situations where someone simply sneaks away without any nefarious intent. This word is broader in scope than simply running away, as it implies a level of secrecy and intentionality in one's departure.
