Etymology

The word 'unstrap' is a compound verb formed by the prefix 'un-' meaning 'to reverse or remove,' combined with the word 'strap,' which refers to a band, strip, or belt used for fastening or securing. The use of 'strap' can be traced back to Old French 'estrap' and Latin 'strappa', which denoted a fastening mechanism. Over time, the prefix 'un-' became widely used in English to indicate negation or reversal of actions. The combination, 'unstrap', has been utilized in English since at least the 20th century, primarily in a literal sense before expanding to more metaphorical applications, relating to the concept of freeing oneself or something from restriction.
