The act of untying or unknotting something; the process of resolving a complex problem or knot.
From Latin 'enodatio', derived from 'enodare' (to unknot), used in English since the 16th century to describe both physical and metaphorical untangling.
In classical rhetoric, 'enodation' was a key technique—orators would present a knotty problem, then dramatically perform its 'enodation' or solution to convince their audiences they were brilliant problem-solvers.
