loosening
English
Noun
loosening (plural loosenings)
- The act of making something looser.
- 2013, Michael Scott, Religious Language (page 169)
- Turning to metaphor, the loosenings involved in metaphorical interpretation tend not to be pure but to involve a change that results in the extension of the loosened concept overlapping with but not including all of the denotations of the pre-loosened concept.
