“Lam” is an abbreviation for the term ‘low and moving’ which usually pertains to a person or person(s) hiding from the law.
When you’re on the lam,
You’re keeping a low profile, your body may be literally low to the ground just to keep from being seen by the enemy.

When the coast is clear it’s time to move on. Keep low and keep moving quietly, stealthily towards safety.
Jimmy went awol and is now on the lam from the military police.
