搬走 (bān zǒu) is a compound verb meaning 'to move away' (as in relocating from a residence) or 'to take away' (physically removing something). The first character 搬 (bān) means 'to carry', 'to move', or 'to relocate', while 走 (zǒu) literally means 'to walk' or 'to go', but here functions as a result complement indicating completion or departure. Together, they convey the idea of carrying something away or leaving a place permanently with one’s belongings.

This verb is commonly used in daily life when discussing housing changes (e.g., moving out of an apartment), clearing objects from a space, or even figuratively—though less often—in contexts like removing obstacles. It implies intentional, physical action and often carries a sense of finality. Unlike the standalone verb 搬 (bān), which can mean simply 'to move' without specifying direction or result, 搬走 emphasizes removal from a current location or situation.
