unchoose
Take back pick
To unchoose is to reverse or undo a previous choice, withdrawing a selection already made.
The word appears mainly in contexts where choices can be revisited—software interfaces, game mechanics, or philosophical discussions about free will: Can you unchoose something once you've committed to it?
