Etymology

The word 'unrepressed' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'repressed', which comes from the Latin word 'repressus', past participle of 'reprimere' meaning 'to check, restrain'. In psychology, the concept of repression refers to the unconscious blocking of unacceptable thoughts or impulses. To be unrepressed is to be free from these inhibitions and constraints, allowing for a more open and honest expression of one's feelings and desires.
