UNFURLED Meaning and Definition

  1. The term "unfurled" refers to the action or process of unfurling, which involves unfolding or unrolling something that has been previously folded, rolled, or tightly bound. It typically describes the opening or revealing of objects such as flags, sails, banners, or any other fabric or material that can be extended or expanded.

    Unfurling often entails a deliberate and controlled motion, as the object gradually expands, stretches, or extends from a condensed or folded state to its full size or length. This action may be facilitated by pulling, tugging, or releasing tension in the material, allowing it to unravel or uncoil. Unfurling can be done manually by individuals or accomplished through the use of mechanisms, devices, or the influence of natural forces like wind, gravity, or water currents.

    The term can also be used metaphorically and figuratively, describing the act of revealing or disclosing something that was previously hidden, concealed, or obscured. It implies an opening up of ideas, information, or possibilities, often leading to a more extensive understanding or appreciation.

    Overall, "unfurled" conveys the image of something being transformed from a compact, tight, or secretive state into a spacious, extended, or exposed one, whether in physical or metaphorical contexts.

  2. Unfolded; expanded.

Common Misspellings for UNFURLED

Etymology of UNFURLED

The word "unfurled" has its origins in Middle English. It is derived from the combination of the prefix "un-" (meaning "not" or "reverse") and the verb "furl". "Furl" originates from Old French "ferlier", which comes from the Latin word "firmare" or "fulcare" meaning "to fasten" or "to secure". Over time, "furl" took on the meaning of rolling up or tying up something like a sail, flag, or banner. Hence, "unfurled" means to undo or release the rolled-up state, allowing something to spread out or unfold.
