Root Explanation

Unrestrained → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "restrain" (from Latin "restringere", meaning to bind back). The word "unrestrained" means not bound back or free from limitations.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being applied to 'binding back' ('restringere') — that's why unrestrained means free and without limits.
