How Do You Spell UNBOUND?

Pronunciation: [ʌnbˈa͡ʊnd] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "unbound" can be confusing for non-native English speakers due to the silent "d" at the end. The IPA transcription of this word is /ˌʌnˈbaʊnd/, which shows that the "o" is pronounced as "ow" (like in "cow") and the "d" at the end is not pronounced. This means that the word is spelled with a "d" but pronounced without it. The word "unbound" means free, unrestricted, or released from constraints, and is commonly used in literature and academic writing.

UNBOUND Meaning and Definition

  1. Unbound is an adjective that describes something that is not confined, restricted, or tied down. It represents the absence of bounds, limits, or restrictions. The term can be used metaphorically to indicate a sense of liberation, freedom, or detachment.

    In a physical sense, unbound means to not be held or fastened by physical constraints. It suggests a state of being unrestrained or uninhibited, as in a book whose pages are not attached to a cover, or a person who is not tied or bound by ropes or chains.

    Unbound can also refer to abstract concepts such as ideas, thoughts, or emotions that are not confined by conventional boundaries or restrictions. It implies a sense of boundlessness, where one's imagination, creativity, or potentials are not limited by external factors. It can suggest a state of infinite possibility or unconstrained potential.

    Furthermore, unbound can describe a lack of constraints or limitations in a figurative sense. For instance, it can refer to an unrestricted and uninhibited way of thinking or behaving. It can represent a state of mind that is not burdened by conventions, rules, or norms, allowing for a free expression of individuality or unconventional ideas.

    Overall, unbound embodies the idea of being free from restraints, limitations, or confinement, whether in a physical, metaphorical, or abstract sense.

  2. • Set free.
    • Not bound; loose; free from obligation; wanting a cover as a book.
