Note
The same spelling serves two words: the verb, as in she unfriends him, and the plural of the noun unfriend, meaning one who is not a friend, an enemy. Grammar tells them apart. After a singular subject it is the verb. The verb now usually means removing someone from a friends list online, and defriend is its close twin. Its broader sense of simply ending a friendship is rare.
