uncoiled
No longer spiraled
Uncoiled describes something that was coiled but has been straightened or released from its spiral form: The snake uncoiled and slithered away.
A rope, hose, or cable uncoils when unwound.
The word can suggest sudden release of stored tension: The spring uncoiled violently.
