UNZIPPED Meaning and
Definition
-
Unzipped is an adjective that describes something that has been opened or undone by removing or releasing a zipper. It refers to the act of unfastening a zipper, which is a device commonly used to fasten the openings of garments, bags, or other items by interlocking two strips of fabric with metal or plastic teeth that can be drawn together by a sliding mechanism.
In a literal sense, unzipped means that a closed object secured with a zipper has been opened, allowing easy access to its contents or providing a convenient opening for wearing or using the item. For example, unzipping a jacket involves pulling the slider of the zipper down to separate the two sides of the garment and create an opening.
However, unzipped can also be used metaphorically to describe a state of openness, informality, or relaxation. In this sense, it implies a removal of formal or restrictive barriers and a willingness to engage in casual or uninhibited behavior. For instance, describing a person as unzipped may suggest that they are relaxed, candid, or showing their true personality without any inhibitions.
Overall, the term unzipped connotes the physical action of opening a zippered object as well as the metaphorical connotations of informality, openness, and casualness.

Etymology of UNZIPPED
The word "unzipped" is derived from the noun "zip" combined with the prefix "un-", indicating the reversal or opposite of something.
Originally, the word "zip" referred to a fastening device consisting of interlocking metal or plastic teeth that could be opened and closed by sliding a small tab known as a zipper or zip fastener. The term "zipper" was a registered trademark of the B.F. Goodrich Company, which introduced this closure system in the early 20th century. However, the popularity and widespread use of zippers led to the term "zipper" and its variants becoming genericized, losing their trademark status.
Over time, the verb "to zip" emerged, describing the action of opening or closing a zipper. The prefix "un-" attached to "zip" creates the word "unzip", which specifically describes the act of opening a previously closed zipper to reveal the contents within.
