unfoldings
Events becoming clear
Unfoldings are instances of something opening out or being revealed gradually.
The word appears in contexts where events, stories, or situations develop over time: We watched the unfoldings of the crisis with growing alarm.
It can also refer to physical opening: the delicate unfoldings of flower petals at dawn.
