The act implies undoing a blockage, whether physical like a door or symbolic, representing a constraint like a metaphorical obstacle or even a psychological barrier. The resulting state suggests openness, accessibility, or release from confinement. The focus is on the act of removal, the act of allowing passage, and the resulting state of freedom.
