Etymology
The word 'unhitch' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' or 'opposite of' and the word 'hitch,' which comes from Middle English 'hich' meaning 'to fasten' or 'to tie.' The term 'hitch' itself can be traced back to Old English 'hฤซฤฤan,' which suggests pulling or tying. Thus, 'unhitch' literally translates to the action of untying or unfastening. It has been primarily used in the context of vehicles or animals that are hitched to carts or trailers, gaining popularity during the rise of horse-drawn vehicles and later in the automotive industry. The usage has evolved but maintains its core meaning of detachment.
