- 1展開；（事件）逐漸展現、發展中的
Unfolding literally means opening something out that was folded, like unfolding a map or a letter. It's also used, very commonly, for events or stories that are gradually happening and becoming clear, bit by bit, often while you watch — an unfolding crisis, an unfolding story on the news.
From the word’s history
From unfold + -ing; unfold from Old English unfealdan, un- + fold.
unfold 加 -ing；unfold 源自古英文 unfealdan。
