unpins
Frees from fasteners
Unpins is the act of removing a pin or unfastening something that was pinned.
You unpin a notice from a bulletin board, unpin a brooch from a lapel, or unpin your hair to let it fall.
In digital contexts, unpinning removes an item from a fixed position: She unpins the old tweet from her profile.
The word reverses whatever pinning accomplished—physical or virtual.
