舒展 (shū zhǎn) — to stretch (one's body, wings, etc.); to unfold; (of mood or state) to become relaxed and comfortable
Definition
舒展 pairs a physical sense (stretch/unfold — body, leaves) with a mental one (mood relaxes, brows smooth out). Unlike 伸 (just physical stretch) or 展开 (deploy/unroll something flat), 舒展 emphasizes easing out tension.
