Definition
脱出 is a resultative verb compound (r.v.) formed from 脱 (to remove, to escape) and 出 (out, outward). It describes the result of something coming off, being removed, or getting out of a situation. The pattern is Verb + 出, where 出 acts as a resultative complement indicating 'out' or 'off'. You can use it literally for clothing or objects (e.g., 脱出衣服 'take off clothes') or figuratively for extricating yourself from a difficult situation (e.g., 脱出困境 'extricate from a predicament').
