burdenless

Free from loads

Free from burdens—without weight, obligation, or encumbrance.

The word is rare, appearing mostly in literary or poetic contexts to describe a state of liberation: She felt burdenless after quitting the job that had consumed her life.

The opposite of burdened, it suggests lightness both physical and psychological.
