What does UNTIE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To undo a knot or unfasten something that has been tied.
People untie shoelaces, ropes, and parcels every day, simply reversing whatever tying held the object closed or connected. The verb also extends to freeing a person or animal that has been bound, as when someone unties a boat from a dock or unties a dog from its leash. Writers sometimes use untie figuratively too, speaking of a problem that finally unties itself once a key piece of information comes to light. Whether the object is physical rope or a tangled situation, untie always signals the reversal of something previously fastened or knotted.
How UNTIE is used
An everyday verb used for physical knots and, less often, figuratively for resolving a tangled problem.
- She knelt down to untie her muddy shoelaces.
- He untied the rowboat before pushing off from the dock.
