unfixing

/ʌnfˈɪksɪŋ/ verb

present participle and gerund of unfix

Word Origin Unfixing is the act of loosening or detaching something that was fixed. From Latin figere 'to fasten,' the same root that gives us fix, fixture, and fixation. The un- prefix reverses the action, and -ing makes it ongoing. So unfixing is the process of undoing a fastening.
