Removing leg bindings
Unhobbling is freeing from restraints or restrictions.
Literally, to unhobble an animal is to remove the straps binding its legs so it can move freely.
Figuratively, unhobbling applies to removing constraints from systems, markets, or people: unhobbling the economy from excessive regulation, unhobbling creativity by eliminating bureaucratic oversight.
