disentangles
Frees from knots
Disentangles means frees something from a tangled or complicated state.
You might disentangle headphone cords, disentangle yourself from a bad relationship, or disentangle the threads of a complex argument: It took months to disentangle the company's finances.
The word works equally well for physical knots and metaphorical ones.
