Etymology of UNWOUND

The word "unwound" is formed by adding the prefix "un-" to the verb "wound".

The verb "wound" comes from the Old English word "windan", which meant "to twist, turn, or coil". It is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "windaną". This root word is also related to other Germanic languages such as German "winden" and Dutch "winden".

The addition of the prefix "un-" gives the word "unwound" the opposite meaning, indicating the reversal or removal of the action of winding.
