What does UNKNIT mean in Scrabble?
verb
literary
To undo something that has been knitted or bound together, so that it comes apart.
The verb works in two senses: the literal unpicking of woven or knitted threads, and the figurative loosening of anything held tightly. Old writers spoke of an unknit brow when a frown relaxed, or of a friendship that began to unknit under strain. It is far more at home in literary prose than in everyday talk, where people would simply say unravel or loosen.
How UNKNIT is used
Literary; used for both literal threads and figurative bonds or frowns.
- She sat down to unknit the ruined sleeve.
- Good news seemed to unknit his worried brow.
- The long quarrel began to unknit the family.
- Pull the loose end and the whole scarf will unknit.
- The poet asks sleep to unknit the tangled day.
