The word corkscrewing typically refers to a twisting or spiraling motion, such as that made by a corkscrew while uncorking a bottle. Its antonyms, words with the opposite meaning, would be those that describe a straight, linear or non-twisting movement. Some possible antonyms include: straightening, untwisting, uncoiling, unbending, flattening. These words suggest a sense of order, alignment, and smoothness. While corkscrewing may sometimes be desirable or necessary, such as in dance or acrobatics, its antonyms indicate the absence of a potentially chaotic or tumultuous motion.
