untames
Reverses the domestication
Untames means to reverse the taming of something, returning it to a wild or undomesticated state.
The word appears mostly in fantasy, gaming, and poetic contexts: The spell untames the beast, restoring its feral nature.
More broadly, it can describe releasing something from control or restraint: Grief untames her carefully composed exterior.
