Root Explanation

Uninhibitedness → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not), "inhibited" (from Latin "inhibere", meaning to hold back or restrain), and "-ness" (meaning the state of being). The word describes the state of being not held back or restrained, indicating freedom of expression or behavior.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') holding back ('inhibited') — that's why uninhibitedness means the state of being free and expressive.
