If a country or a state secedes, it officially leaves the larger country it belonged to and becomes independent — or tries to. This is a formal, political word. You meet it in history (the southern states seceded from the United States before the American Civil War) and in news about places that want to break away. People, clubs, and companies do not usually secede; we save it for countries and states. It is not just leaving quietly. Seceding is a public, official act, and the other side often does not agree. You secede from something; that from matters.
脫離(聯邦或國家而獨立)
