The Chinese word 解开 (jiě kāi) is a verb that means "to untie, to undo, to solve, to decipher". It is composed of two characters: 解 (jiě), which means "to loosen, to untie, to release", and 开 (kāi), which means "to open, to start, to begin". The original meaning of 解开 is "to untie a knot", which is extended to mean "to undo something that is tied or fastened", and then to "to solve a problem or a puzzle". The word 解开 can also be used in a figurative sense, to mean "to free oneself from something", such as a bad habit or a difficult situation.
