That is not what “unstop” means. You unstop a drain that is clogged, you don’t unstop something you want to restart.
minus-square@viralJlinkEnglish12•1 month agoI don’t know, the MW defines unstop as “free from obstruction” or “remove a stopper”. You could say that the “stop” text functions as an obstruction or stopper, which you can remove in order to receive texts again.
