unswaddled
Freed from cloth bindings
Unswaddled means freed from swaddling—the tight wrapping of cloth around an infant to restrict movement.
A baby who has been unswaddled can move its limbs freely.
Figuratively, to be unswaddled is to be released from constraint or protection: The young artist, finally unswaddled from academic conventions, found her own style.
