Etymology of UNFOLDING

The word "unfolding" comes from the verb "unfold", which dates back to Old English. Its roots can be traced to the combination of the Old English prefix "un-" (meaning "not") and the verb "fold" (meaning "to bend, to crease, or to arrange in layers"). This combination gives "unfolding" its meaning of "not being folded or unwrapping". Over time, "unfolding" has come to be used metaphorically to describe the process of revealing, developing, or progressing gradually.
