uncaged

Released from confinement

Uncaged means released from a cage, or never having been caged at all.

The word applies literally to animals: The uncaged birds flew to the rafters.

Figuratively, it suggests freedom from any confinement or restraint: Her uncaged creativity transformed the project.

To uncage is to set free: They uncaged the tiger at dawn.
