Help needed! (explain the word)

can someone help me to clear the meaning of the word "to duck" in the context:

[FONT=&quot]“Well why did you come find me?” I was watching the dandelions and didn’t see him stare at me with one opened eye. If I had, I would have ducked. Instead I groaned to feel his tongue rake across my cheek and up the side of my head[/FONT]

i just need to translate one short story but no dictionaray gives this verb...

thanks

 

"He threw the stone at my head and I ducked. The stone struck the windshield of the car behind me"

Got it?

 

its like when you crouch down or move to the side very quickly as to avoid being hit by something

 

got out of sight
