解开

• 拼音: jiě kāi
• 汉字拆解: 解 = 角 (horn) + 刀 (knife) + 牛 (ox), originally to butcher an ox; 开 = simplified form of 開, meaning to open

含义

To untie; to undo; to unfasten. To release something that is tied, buttoned, or knotted.

Can be used both literally (untying a knot, unbuttoning a shirt) and figuratively (resolving a misunderstanding, releasing emotional tension). The complement 开 indicates the result of the action — successfully separating or opening.
