Also means
to evade
Usage Note
Rehuir means to actively avoid or shy away from someone or something — stronger than evitar in implying deliberate evasion. It is an irregular verb: the diphthong shifts in stressed syllables (rehúyo, rehúyes). It commonly takes a direct object: rehuir la confrontación, rehuir la mirada.
Examples
"Intenta rehuir toda responsabilidad."
Natural Translation
He tries to avoid all responsibility.
