Rain hitting ground that will not drink it. The water stays on top, finds the slope, and leaves — off the , off the roof, down into the river. One way to hold the word is that picture of something running off a surface it was on, and the name being given to whatever comes out at the end.

可以想成雨打在吸不進水的地面上。水留在表面、找到坡度,然後就離開了——離開山坡、離開屋頂,往河裡去。這個字可以用「從一個面上跑掉」這個畫面來記。跑掉之後跑出來的那個東西,就拿來當名字。

From the word’s history

Deverbal from the phrasal verb run off.

這個名詞是從動詞片語 run off 直接變成的名詞(Wiktionary 記為 deverbal from run off)。所以每個意思背後都還聽得到「跑掉/跑完」那個動作。
