fugere: defugere (fly from, and so keep out of the way): vitare: devitare (to go out of the way of): declinare (to lean aside from). To avoid a battle, proelium defugere: a danger, periculum fugere, defugere (not to expose one’s self to it), vitare (being exposed to it, to get out of its way at the right time).
