Unclick

Unclick is a verb that generally means to undo the action of clicking, typically with a computer mouse or similar pointing device. It implies releasing a button that was previously depressed or activated. The precise meaning can vary depending on the context.

In the context of graphical user interfaces (GUIs), "unclick" often refers to releasing the mouse button after having clicked on an element, such as a button, link, or checkbox. It signifies the completion of a click action. Sometimes, an "unclick" event can trigger a specific action, separate from the initial click.

More broadly, "unclick" can also describe the action of disengaging or deactivating something that was engaged or activated by a clicking mechanism. This could apply to physical devices as well, although the term is most commonly associated with computer interfaces.

The opposite of "unclick" is "click" (or simply "clicking"). In some contexts, it might be considered synonymous with "release".
