What does UNPEN mean in Scrabble?
verb
rare
To let an animal out of a pen or other small enclosure.
Farmers unpen livestock such as sheep, cattle, or poultry when it is time to move them to pasture, market, or another part of the farm. The verb reverses the ordinary sense of pen as a fenced enclosure, so to unpen an animal simply undoes that confinement rather than describing any new action performed on it. The word survives mainly in farming contexts and in writing that describes rural life.
How UNPEN is used
Chiefly used of livestock; a farmhand unpens sheep or cattle rather than unpenning general objects.
- The farmer rose early to unpen the sheep before the drive to market.
- They unpen the hens each morning to let them roam the yard.
- It took two workers to unpen the frightened cattle.
- He unpenned the goats and watched them scatter across the field.
- The boy was given the job of unpenning the pigs at dawn.
