Morphology

unconstraining = constraining (transparent) = un + constrain + ing

The adjective is formed by applying 'un-' to the participle 'constraining', yielding the straightforward negative meaning 'not limiting'.

Etymology

The word unconstraining begins with un- meaning 'not' and is built from constrain, which once meant 'to tie' or limit, like using a 'string' to hold something. So unconstraining means 'not limiting' and gives freedom or flexibility.
