barless
Lacking any barriers
Barless describes something without bars—whether the metal rods of a cage or prison cell, or the establishments that serve alcohol.
A barless window offers an unobstructed view, while a barless community might lack drinking establishments or have prohibited them.
The word appears most often in contexts involving confinement or its absence: The zoo's barless enclosures let visitors see animals in more natural settings.
