Root Explanation

Unconstrained → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "constrained" (from Latin "constringere", meaning to bind together). The word "unconstrained" means not bound or restricted, allowing freedom of action or expression.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'bound together' ('constrained') — this helps you remember that 'unconstrained' means free and unrestricted.
