Unmounts is the third-person singular of unmount, a computing term for disconnecting a storage device or file system from the operating system.
Before physically removing a USB drive, you should unmount it to prevent data corruption: Wait until the system unmounts the drive before unplugging it.
The term mirrors the physical act of removing something from its mount.
