uncompelled
Acting without pressure
Uncompelled describes action taken freely, without pressure or force.
What is uncompelled arises from choice rather than obligation or coercion: Her confession was uncompelled—no one had even accused her.
The word often appears in legal or formal contexts where the voluntary nature of an act matters.
