1. 1

    To open something that was held closed — a button, a belt, a zip, a rope, a lock, a clip. means to join two things so they stay shut; un- undoes it. So you your seatbelt at the start of a flight and unfasten it at the end. The word is calm and careful. It is what you say when the opening is deliberate and gentle — unfastening a necklace, unfastening a child's coat. If something is ripped open, you would not use this word. In everyday speech, English speakers usually reach for a more specific verb: unbutton a shirt, unzip a bag, a rope, take off a belt, or just "undo" — undo is the most common of all in British English, and covers nearly everything unfasten covers. Unfasten survives strongly in one place: on planes and in cars, in the announcement "please keep your seatbelts ," and so "unfasten your seatbelt" sounds completely natural to everyone. Elsewhere it feels a little careful or written.
