undammed
No longer obstructed
Undammed describes water that flows freely without a dam to block or control it: The river ran undammed for two hundred miles.
It also serves as the past tense of undam—to release water by removing a barrier.
Figuratively, undammed suggests something released from restraint: undammed emotions, undammed grief.
