uncircumscribed

Not hemmed in

Uncircumscribed means not limited or bounded, free from restrictions.

What is circumscribed has lines drawn around it, confining it to a defined space; what is uncircumscribed has no such limits: an uncircumscribed authority, uncircumscribed freedom of expression.

The word appears in philosophical and theological contexts to describe that which cannot be contained or delimited.
