UNGLUE Meaning and Definition

  1. Unglue is a transitive verb that represents the act of separating or detaching objects or parts that have been adhesively bonded or joined together using glue. It entails the process of breaking the adhesive bond, allowing the objects or parts to be released or disconnected.

    When something is unglued, it means that it is no longer firmly attached or fixed in place due to the dissolution or disruption of the adhesive bond. This can involve physically pulling, prying, or peeling apart the glued surfaces, often requiring careful and deliberate action to avoid damaging the objects themselves. The term "unglue" is commonly used in the context of items such as papers, crafts, models, puzzles, or various construction projects that incorporate glue as a joining agent.

    Ungluing can be achieved through the application of heat, solvents, or mechanical force, depending on the materials and type of glue involved. The objective of ungluing is to restore the original individual states of the glued components, enabling their separate use or manipulation.

    In a figurative sense, unglue can also describe the act of disentangling or separating oneself mentally or emotionally from a state of fixation, obsession, or attachment to someone, something, or even a particular belief or idea. It implies the process of liberating oneself from a bond that may be limiting or confining, leading to personal growth or change.

Etymology of UNGLUE

The word "unglue" originated from the Old English word "ungelian", which meant "to separate or detach". It is composed of two elements: "un" meaning "not" or "reverse an action" and "gelian" meaning "to glue or adhere". Over time, the word "unglue" has evolved and come to refer specifically to the act of separating or releasing something that has been glued.
