untamed

/ˌˈʌnˌteɪmd/

/ənˈteɪmd/

The word untamed describes something wild and uncontrolled, like an animal or anything unrestrained by outside forces — whether in nature or other areas of life.

Untamed means something is wild and free, rather than limited or controlled. Think of a lion roaming the savannah or a thick jungle that people haven't touched. Untamed places are full of adventure and surprises. The word can also describe a person with a free spirit or a situation that is hard to control. Untamed things, whether in nature or in lively personalities, are exciting and natural, bringing a sense of freedom and unpredictability.
