"Break away" means to free oneself from another person's physical grip or control, often through a sudden or forceful movement. It is commonly used in descriptions of struggles, confrontations, and attempts to escape restraint. The phrasal verb is intransitive and frequently appears with "from" to identify the person or force being escaped.
