untrapping
Liberating from snares
Untrapping is the act of freeing something from a trap or trapped condition.
The word appears in contexts ranging from wildlife management untrapping animals caught in snares to technical troubleshooting untrapping a stuck process.
It can also describe releasing someone from a figurative bind: She spent years untrapping herself from that toxic relationship.
