意味

To set free; to release; to unleash. Implies liberating something that was bound, confined, or suppressed.

A Group 1 (godan) compound verb from 解き (toki — undoing, from 解く) + 放つ (hanatsu — to release, to send forth). 解き放つ carries a more dramatic and literary tone than simply 放す (hanasu — to let go). It is used for releasing prisoners, animals, or suppressed emotions, and metaphorically for unleashing potential, creativity, or destructive forces. The compound emphasises both the undoing of restraint and the active sending forth.

2. 長年抑えてきた感情を解き放つかのように、彼女は泣き崩れた。
3. 新しい技術は人類の創造力を解き放つ可能性を秘めている。
