With us agreeing that "embed" is about something is _IN_ submodule working tree, unembed would naturally be something becomes OUTSIDE the same thing (i.e. "submodule working tree"). However, if you introduce "absorb", we suddenly need to talk about a different thing, i.e. "superproject's .git/modules", that is doing the absorption. That is why I suggest "unembed" over "absorb".
