About This Root
From Latin fugere (to flee, escape, run away). The idea of fleeing shapes every derivative: refuge (a place to flee back to), refugee (one who has fled), subterfuge (secret escape, a trick), centrifugal (fleeing from the center), and furtive (stealthy, as if ready to flee). Prefixes determine the direction and manner of the flight.
