Etymology of UNFIXES

The word "unfixes" is derived from the prefix "un-" meaning "not" or "reverse", and the verb "fix", which comes from Middle English "fixen" and Old French "fixer", ultimately stemming from Latin "fixus". The term "fix" originally referred to the act of attaching or fastening something in a secure position. When the prefix "un-" is added to "fixes", it negates the verb and indicates the reversal or undoing of fixing, implying the action of unfastening, detaching, or releasing something from its fixed state.
