extrication
Freeing from entrapment
Extrication is the act of freeing someone or something from entanglement, difficulty, or a confined space.
Emergency responders perform vehicle extrication to remove trapped passengers.
The word often appears in figurative contexts: He saw no easy extrication from the financial mess he'd created.
To extricate yourself is to get free from a situation that holds you.
