What does UNSHIP mean in Scrabble?
verb
nautical
To take something off a boat or out of its fitting, such as cargo, an oar or a mast.
Sailors have long used unship for two related jobs. One is unloading cargo or passengers onto the shore, and the other is lifting a fitted part, like an oar or a tiller, out of its socket so it can be stowed. The word gets its sense from the old nautical use of ship to mean put in its proper place on board, so unship simply reverses that step.
How UNSHIP is used
Nautical and somewhat old-fashioned; also used loosely for removing any part from its fitting.
