What does bash +x option mean?

Question

I know what is bash -x, but what is bash +x ? Googling found no results and the manual also says nothing about it.

All of the single-character options are as if they were typed in the set command. -x turns on option x, +x turns off option x.

I believe it's turned off by default. – user1206899 Apr 24 '22 at 06:46
Yes, but if it is called in a shell where the option is on, they want to turn it off. – Tim Roberts Apr 24 '22 at 06:58

-x turns on x trace and +x turns it off as far as I understand
