- 1（目光）移開；（危機等）避免、防止
Averted usually appears in two situations. (1) With 'eyes' or 'gaze' — 'she averted her eyes' means she quickly looked away, often out of shyness, guilt, or to avoid seeing something upsetting. (2) With a bad event — 'the crisis was averted' means something bad was successfully stopped from happening, just in time. Both meanings share the idea of turning something away before it happens or continues.
組成From 'avert' (to turn away, or to prevent) + -ed.
