ungirt
Loosened at waist
Ungirt means not wearing a belt or girdle, or having one's belt loosened or removed.
The word appears in older texts describing someone whose clothing hangs loose: He stood ungirt, his tunic flowing free.
By extension, ungirt can suggest being unprepared or unrestrained, since girding oneself was preparation for action.
