unweights
Takes pressure off
Unweights means to reduce or remove weight from something, often momentarily.
In skiing and cycling, to unweight is to briefly lighten pressure on skis or pedals—typically by rising slightly—to facilitate a turn or maneuver: Unweight your skis as you initiate the turn.
The term appears in other contexts where temporarily relieving downward force matters.
