Word origin

The word 'unrestrained' originated from the combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'restrained' which comes from the Latin word 'restringere' meaning 'to bind back'. The concept of being unrestrained has been present in human behavior for centuries, with societies valuing both self-restraint and unrestrained expression at different times. The word has evolved to encompass both lack of control and freedom from constraints.
