脱却

• 読み: だっきゃく
• ローマ字: dakkyaku
• 漢字の分解: 脱 (datsu) — to shed, escape | 却 (kyaku) — to withdraw, step back
• 発音: /dak.kja.kɯ/

意味

Escape; breaking free; getting rid of. The act of extricating oneself from a constraining situation, mindset, or habit.

A noun and suru verb (脱却する) conveying a deliberate and complete departure from something that was previously constraining or defining. Frequently collocates with 固定観念から (from fixed ideas), 過去から (from the past), or 停滞から (from stagnation). Implies not just leaving but a fundamental transformation — making it stronger than simply 抜け出す (to get out of).

例文

1. 固定観念から脱却することが、革新的な発想の出発点になる。
2. 彼女は過去の失敗から脱却し、新たな一歩を力強く踏み出した。
3. 経済の長期停滞からの脱却を図るため、大胆な政策転換が求められている。
