- 1
Someone who is running away, usually to escape the police, the law, or some kind of danger, and is trying not to be caught. You'll hear it in news stories — 'the fugitive was captured after three years.' It can also be used as an adjective, describing anything hard to catch or hold onto, though the 'person running from the law' meaning is by far the most common.
