What does UNLASH mean in Scrabble?
verb
To untie or loosen something that has been fastened down with a cord or rope.
Sailors and campers meet this verb most often: a load, a boat or a bundle of poles is lashed tight for travel and must be unlashed before use. It reverses the act of lashing, so the cord comes away from whatever it was holding. The word turns up in nautical writing and in accounts of expeditions where gear is tied to sleds or decks.
