Definition
离境 is a separable verb-object compound (离合词) meaning 'to leave a country' or 'to depart from a country's territory', especially through customs or immigration. You can split the two syllables to insert aspect markers like 了 or 过, or measure words like 次: 离了境, 离过一次境. The verb 离 and the object 境 function as a unit in non-split uses, but the split pattern is common and natural.
