What does UNNAIL mean in Scrabble?
verb
rare
To remove the nails that fasten something, so that it comes loose or apart.
To unnail a board or a crate means to pull out the nails holding it together, reversing the work of nailing it shut. The word follows a small pattern of reversal verbs formed with un-, such as unbolt or unscrew, that describe undoing a specific kind of fastening. Unnail turns up mainly in older carpentry or shipping contexts, where crates and boxes were sealed and later opened by force.
