One who runs away from law

Correct Answer:

Fugitive

Explanation:

The one-word substitute for "one who runs away from law" is fugitive.

  • Fatalist is someone who believes that everything is predetermined and that there is nothing that can be done to change it.
  • Convict is someone who has been found guilty of a crime and sentenced to imprisonment.
  • Lunatic is someone who is mentally ill.

The word fugitive comes from the Latin word "fugitivus," meaning "to flee." A fugitive is someone who is fleeing from justice, either because they have committed a crime or because they are being sought for questioning. Fugitives are often on the run from the police, and they may be hiding in order to avoid capture.
