The kanji 逃 was formed by combining the radical ⾵ (しんにょう / shinnnyou, meaning "walk" or "movement") with the phonetic component 兆 (ちょう / chō). The ⾵ radical indicates movement or action, while the phonetic element 兆 suggests the sound and possibly the idea of starting or beginning something new. The combination suggests the action of moving away or escaping.
