unyokes
Frees the team
Unyokes means to release from a yoke—the wooden frame that harnesses draft animals together for work.
Farmers unyoke oxen at day's end.
Figuratively, to unyoke is to free from any binding connection or burden: She unyoked herself from the family business.
The word suggests liberation from shared labor or unwanted partnership.
