What does UNBIND mean in Scrabble?
verb
To untie or loosen something that has been tied, and so set it or its captive free.
You can unbind a bundle of letters, a wounded arm or a prisoner, and in each case the thing held together is released. Older writing often uses unbind for a spiritual or legal release from an oath or a curse. In ordinary talk most speakers now prefer untie or unwrap, which leaves unbind sounding slightly formal.
