Etymology
The word 'untie' is derived from the prefix 'un-', which indicates negation or reversal, combined with the verb 'tie'. The roots of 'tie' trace back to the Old English 'tฤซgan', related to the concept of fastening together. 'Untie' entered the English language around the late Middle Ages, reflecting the need to describe the action of loosening or releasing something that has been tied. Throughout history, the act of tying and untying has held practical significance in various trades, crafts, and everyday life. It has also been metaphorically used in literature and art to signify the release of constraints or the liberation of ideas.
