extricated

/ˈɛkstɹəˌkeɪtɪd/ verb

simple past and past participle of extricate

Word Origin Extricate comes from Latin ex- 'out' and tricae 'perplexities, hindrances' — literally 'to get out of tangles'. The same root gives us intricate (entangled) and trick (originally a deceitful tangle). So when you're extricated, you're freed from a tricky situation. The word inextricable means 'cannot be untangled'.
