1. 1(動詞過去式)展開;(比喻)逐漸展現、發生

    Opened out something that was folded, so it becomes flat or spread out - you 'unfold' a map, a letter, or a chair. It is also used for a story or events that 'unfold' over time, meaning they happen or become clear gradually, step by step, like a plot revealing itself - 'the plan slowly unfolded.'

From the word’s history

From unfold, Old English unfealdan; un- (reversive) + fold.

源自古英文 unfealdan,un-「反向」+fold「摺」。

Wiktionary

組成un + fold + ed. 'Un-' here reverses the action of folding, so 'unfold' is the opposite of 'fold.'
