unlatch

/ʌnˈlætʃ/verb
ELI5 mode

To release a latch or fastening mechanism, allowing something like a door, gate, or lid to open freely. This everyday action carries a satisfying mechanical click, often evoking nostalgia for simpler locks before keyless entry took over. In technical fields like electronics, it means resetting a circuit latch to its default state.
