unfolds

Unfold means to open or spread out something that was previously closed or folded. You can unfold a map, a piece of paper, or even your arms after a long sleep.

When we say "unfold" in everyday language, it often means to take something from its compact state and make it visible or accessible. For example, if you're planning a trip, you might need to unfold the map to find the best route. You can also think of unfolding as moving from a smaller size to a larger one - like unfolding a camping chair so that it's stable and ready for use. Sometimes, "unfold" is used in more abstract ways too: when something complex gets explained or made clear, we might say that our understanding unfolds, meaning it becomes clearer and easier to grasp.
