Etymology
The word 'untethered' originated from the combination of 'un-' prefix meaning 'not' and 'tethered' which comes from Middle English 'tether', meaning a rope or chain used to tie an animal. The concept of being untethered has evolved in modern usage to represent freedom, independence, and lack of physical constraints.
