unbuckles
Opens a fastener
Unbuckles is the act of unfastening a buckle—releasing the clasp on a belt, strap, or similar fastening: She unbuckles her seatbelt as the plane taxies to the gate.
The word suggests deliberate loosening, whether practical or suggestive: He unbuckles his belt after a heavy meal.
