Unpacked

/ʌnˈpækt/ verb

Definition

Removed items from a container or suitcase, or explained something in detail.

Etymology

From 'un-' (reversal) plus 'pack' (to put things in), combining Old English and Germanic roots with the prefix.

Kelly Says

We use 'unpacking' for both removing items from luggage and explaining complex ideas (like 'unpacking your argument')—because explaining something requires breaking it down into its component parts, just like luggage.
