[imp. & p. p. {Fled}; p. pr. & vb. n.

fle['a]h); akin to D. vlieden, OHG. & OS. fliohan, G.
fliehen, Icel. fl?ja (imperf. fl??i), Dan. flye, Sw. fly
(imperf. flydde), Goth. pliuhan. (?) 84. Cf. {Flight}.]
To run away, as from danger or evil; to avoid in an alarmed
or cowardly manner; to hasten off; -- usually with from. This
is sometimes omitted, making the verb transitive.

speed. ``Whither shall I fly to 'scape their hands?''
--Shak. See {Fly}, v. i., 5.
