extricate
의미: To free someone or something from a difficult, entangled, or trapped situation, often requiring skill or effort.
Extricate implies releasing from something that grips or entangles — one extricates a car from a ditch, a person from wreckage, or oneself from an awkward conversation. In its figurative sense, countries extricate themselves from treaties, companies extricate themselves from failing partnerships, and individuals extricate themselves from complicated personal situations. The word suggests that escape requires deliberate effort or ingenuity. It collocates with 'from' and often appears with reflexive pronouns.
