Free of restriction, don't be so jumpy (9)
I believe the answer is:
boundless
'free' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for boundless that I've seen before include "Seemingly without limit" , "Having no limit, extensive" , "Without limits" , "Unlimited" .)
