Etymology
Unbundling comes from un- meaning 'not' and bundle meaning 'a group or package tied together'. Think of unbundling as opening a tied package or a 'bundle of sticks' and taking items out one by one, which is why it means separating parts that used to be sold together so each can be offered on its own.
