Etymology of UNBOLT

The word "unbolt" is derived from the combination of two separate components: the prefix "un-" and the verb "bolt".

The prefix "un-" is a common English prefix that denotes the reversal or negation of the action or state expressed by the root word. In this case, "un-" indicates the removal or reversal of the action of bolting.

The verb "bolt" originates from the Old English word "boltian", which has root words in both Old High German and Old Norse. "Boltian" initially referred to the act of fastening or securing with a bolt or bar. Over time, the term started encompassing actions related to opening or unlatching a bolt or barrier.
