Etymology of UNTWISTED

The word "untwisted" is derived from the combination of the prefix "un-" and the verb "twist".

The prefix "un-" is of Germanic origin and carries a negating or reversing meaning. It is used to indicate the opposite, absence, or release of the action expressed by the base word.

The verb "twist" originates from Middle English, and it comes from the Old English word "twistian", which meant "to wring or turn". It can also be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "twis-, twiskaną", meaning "to whirl or whirl around".

Therefore, when the prefix "un-" is added to the verb "twist", it negates or reverses the action, resulting in the meaning of "untwisted" as something that has been undone, uncoiled, or returned to its original state before being twisted.
