Fugitation

/ˌfjuːdʒɪˈteɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The act or state of fleeing; a condition of repeated or habitual escape.

Etymology

Formed from 'fugitate' plus the -tion suffix, creating a noun form that denotes the action or practice of fleeing.

Kelly Says

This is a wonderfully archaic noun that describes not just one escape, but a lifestyle of fleeing—like 'nomadism' is to wandering, 'fugitation' is to running away.
