Word origin

The word 'unleashed' originated from the combination of 'un-' (meaning 'not') and 'leash' (a strap or cord for restraining or guiding a dog). The concept of unleashing something has been associated with freedom, liberation, and release from restraints. Over time, the word has been used metaphorically to describe the release or freedom of various things beyond just physical leashes.
