The prefix "un-" indicates negation or reversal, while "burthen" is an archaic spelling of "burden". The silent "e" at the end of "burthen" indicates a long vowel sound in the preceding syllable.

UNBURTHEN Meaning and Definition

1. Unburthen is a verb that means to relieve, free, or alleviate from a burden or responsibility. It is derived from the combination of the prefix "un-" which denotes a reversal or negation, and the word "burthen" which means a heavy load or an onerous task.

   When someone unburthens themselves, they are actively seeking to lighten the load they are carrying, whether it be physical, emotional, or metaphorical. It implies a deliberate action of unloading oneself from the weight of a burden, whether that burden is a physical object that has been carried for a long period of time or a mental or emotional weight that has been weighing them down.

   The act of unburthening can be seen as a means of finding relief or solace from something that has been oppressing or hindering one's progress or well-being. It is often associated with a sense of liberation or freedom from the constraints imposed by a burden, resulting in a feeling of lightness and ease.

   In a metaphorical sense, unburthen can also refer to sharing one's troubles or worries with someone else, seeking solace, understanding, or support. In this context, unburthening oneself involves opening up and expressing feelings or concerns to alleviate the emotional strain of carrying them alone.

   Overall, whether through physical action or emotional release, unburthening allows individuals to unshackle themselves from that which holds them back and embrace a sense of freedom and liberation.

2. To ease; to throw off; to relieve the mind or heart by revealing what lies heavy on it.

Etymology of UNBURTHEN

The word "unburthen" is derived from the Middle English term "un-burthenen", which was a combination of the prefix "un-" (meaning "not") and the verb "burthenen" (meaning "to burden"). The root of "burthenen" can be traced back to the Old English word "byrðen", which also meant "burden". Over time, "un-burthenen" evolved into "unburthen", with the prefix "un-" indicating the opposite or negation of the verb.
