Etymology
The term 'unyoked' comes from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'yoke,' which is a term used to describe a wooden beam used between a pair of oxen or other animals to enable them to pull together on a load. The yoke is often seen as a symbol of burden or restraint. When something is described as being 'unyoked,' it indicates a release from this encumbrance. The use of 'yoke' in this context dates back to Old English 'yoc' and has been utilized metaphorically in literature and speech for many centuries to denote bondage or servitude. Over time, 'unyoked' has evolved to encompass broader meanings of freedom and lack of restraint beyond its agricultural origins.
