What does UNFURL mean in Scrabble?
verb
To open out something that was rolled or folded, such as a flag, a sail or a leaf.
Sailors unfurl a sail by loosening the cloth that was bundled against the mast so that it can catch the wind. Outside the sea the word is used for ferns, banners, umbrellas and wings, and it often carries a sense of slow, graceful opening. It is the opposite of furl, though unfurl is by far the more common of the two.
