Etymology
The word 'unfurl' originated in the early 17th century from the combination of 'un-' (indicating reversal) and 'furl' (to roll or curl up). It has been commonly used in the context of flags and sails on ships, where they would be unfurled to display or catch the wind. Over time, the term has expanded to include the idea of revealing or displaying something that was previously hidden or rolled up.
