The act or process of freeing or removing someone or something from a difficult or trapped situation.
From Latin 'extricatio,' derived from 'extricare,' with the noun-forming suffix '-tion' added to create an abstract noun describing the process itself.
Firefighters use the term 'extrication' professionally for rescue operations—there's even equipment called 'extrication tools' designed specifically to free people from vehicle wreckage.
