The act or practice of avoiding something; evasion or the state of keeping clear of something.
Formed from 'avoid' (from Old French 'avoider,' meaning to empty or get rid of) plus the suffix '-ment,' creating a noun meaning the action of avoiding.
While 'avoidance' is far more common in modern English, 'avoidment' appears in legal and philosophical texts where it carries a slightly more formal or technical weight.
