unclamped
Freed from grip
Unclamped describes something released from a clamp or never held by one.
In technical contexts, an unclamped signal or voltage operates without limits imposed by a clamping circuit.
Figuratively, unclamped suggests removal of restraint: Once the regulations were unclamped, prices fluctuated wildly.
