Re: untrammeled
Trammel came up today in a crossword puzzle, as the answer to the clue 'ensnare'. It caught me unawares, as I was thinking only of the untouched/unspoiled idea of untrammeled, not the netted and entangling idea of trammeled. I'd forgotten that untrammeled meant something more, and that trammeled isn't the opposite of untrammeled in that meaning. Or is it? The on-line dictionary I'm looking at doesn't make that clear.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
