Etymology of UNGIRD

The word "ungird" originated from the Old English term "ungyrdan", which is a combination of two elements: "un", meaning "to reverse" or "to take off", and "gyrdan", meaning "to gird" or "to encircle". Over time, "ungyrdan" evolved into "ungird" in Middle English. The prefix "un-" implies negation or reversal, while "gyrdan" refers to the act of encircling or fastening something. Thus, "ungird" essentially means to unfasten, loosen, or remove a girdle, belt, or any similar article used to secure clothing.
