Etymology of UNTIES

The word "unties" is derived from the verb "untie".

The etymology of "untie" can be traced back to the Middle English word "untien", which itself was formed by combining the prefix "un-" (indicating reversal or removal) and the verb "tie" (meaning to secure or fasten).

The term "tie" is ultimately derived from the Old English word "teohan" or "tigan", which carried the same meaning of securing or binding. These Old English words can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "*taugo", and ultimately to the Proto-Indo-European root "*deuk-" meaning to lead or pull.

So, the word "unties" has its origins in Old English and can be traced back to Proto-Indo-European roots meaning to reverse or remove a binding or fastening.
