unstilted
Free from stiffness
Unstilted describes speech, writing, or behavior that flows naturally without stiffness or artificiality.
Where stilted suggests wooden formality or forced elevation, unstilted conveys ease and authenticity: The dialogue felt unstilted, like real people talking.
The word appears most often in contexts where naturalness is being praised against an expectation of awkwardness.
