Etymology of UNCLOGS

The word "unclogs" comes from the combination of the prefix "un-" and the base word "clogs".

The prefix "un-" is derived from Old English "un-", which is used to indicate negation or reversal, and it is added to verbs to indicate the opposite or the undoing of the verb's action. In this case, "un-" serves to negate or reverse the action of "clogs".

The base word "clogs" is derived from Middle English "clogge", which means a thick, heavy shoe, typically made of wood. It also has origins in Old Norse "klógg", meaning a block or lump of wood, and Old Low German "klog", referring to a wooden shoe.
