unbound

Free from restraints

Unbound means not tied, fastened, or constrained.

Hair that is unbound hangs loose rather than being tied back.

An unbound book has pages that aren't sewn or glued into a binding.

Figuratively, unbound suggests freedom from limits or restrictions: an imagination unbound by convention, creativity unbound.

In computing, an unbound variable has no assigned value.
