Significado

transcurrir; con el paso del tiempo; ir evolucionando

Almost always collocates with 随着时间的推移 (as time passes/with the passage of time). Used to describe gradual change or development over a period. Rarely used for spatial movement — it is essentially a time-related word in modern usage. Common in formal writing, analysis, and reflective prose.
