UNREEVING Meaning and
Definition
-
Unreeving is a verb that refers to the act of removing or taking apart a previously threaded rope, line, or cable from an object or structure. This process involves reversing the arrangement in which the rope was originally wound, threaded, or tied, thereby disassembling the connection between the rope and the object it was attached to. Unreeving typically requires careful and methodical manipulation of the rope, ensuring that it is released smoothly without causing tangles or knots.
The term unreeving is commonly used in various industries and contexts where ropes or cables are utilized, such as sailing, fishing, construction, and rigging. In sailing, unreeving is often performed when changing or adjusting the sailing rig, as it allows for the removal of old or damaged ropes and the installation of new ones. In fishing, unreeving enables the replacement of fishing lines and tackles, ensuring their proper functioning. Similarly, in construction and rigging, unreeving is necessary for tasks like dismantling temporary structures or modifying the lifting mechanism of cranes.
Overall, unreeving involves the careful and systematic process of detaching a rope from an object or structure, often requiring skill and precision to avoid any damage or distortion.
Etymology of UNREEVING
The word "unreeving" is derived from the Middle English word "unreven", which came from the Old English word "unreofan". "Unreofan" is a combination of the prefix "un-" (meaning not) and "reofan" (meaning to take away or strip off). Therefore, "unreeving" can be understood as the act of removing or stripping off something, particularly in the context of ropes or threads.
