Etymology of UNSNAG

The word "unsnag" is a compound word consisting of the prefix "un-" and the verb "snag".

The verb "snag" originated from Middle English "snaggen", which means "to catch on". It is believed to have derived from Old Norse "snaga", meaning "to twist or to snare". The Old Norse word is related to the Old High German word "snāhan", meaning "to grasp or to snatch".

The prefix "un-" is a common English prefix used to indicate the reversal or negation of a word's meaning. In this case, "unsnag" implies the act of removing or freeing something (snag) from a snagged or caught position.

Therefore, "unsnag" can be interpreted as the action of untangling, freeing, or releasing something that was snagged or caught on a certain object.
