What does UNFIX mean in Scrabble?
verb
To detach or loosen something from a fixed position, or to unsettle something previously made firm.
Unfix reverses the action of fixing something in place, so a soldier who unfixes a bayonet simply removes it from where it was attached to the rifle. The word can also describe unsettling something abstract, such as a fixed opinion or a settled state of mind, though this figurative use is rarer today. It survives mostly in military and formal instructions rather than in casual daily speech.
How UNFIX is used
Somewhat formal or old-fashioned; modern speech usually prefers detach, loosen, or unfasten instead.
