Morphology

unconstraint = constraint (transparent) = un + constraint

The negative prefix 'un-' simply negates the noun 'constraint', producing a clear meaning 'absence of constraint'.

Etymology

Unconstraint is made of un- meaning 'not' and constraint meaning 'a tight hold or something that holds you back', the same idea in the word constrain which means 'to hold tight'. So, unconstraint means being 'not held back' and free from restraint, shyness, or worry.
