To unwire is to disconnect or remove wiring from something: The electrician unwired the old outlet before replacing it.
The word extends to undoing electronic connections generally.
Figuratively, to unwire can mean to deprogram or release from rigid patterns of thinking: Years of therapy helped unwire her childhood conditioning.
