GRE word unbridled Thu Nov 15, 2007 3:22 am  GRE word unbridled
 

According to GRE the word unbirdled means violent:
Quote:
Definition of unbridled (adjective)
violent

This is i.m.h.o. not true. Unbridled means unrestricted, without restrain. A bridle is a kind of headgear for horses in order to control the horse
One can be unrestricted and not violent at all, for instance: unbridled enthusiasm

To bridle, on the contrary, has several meanings among which the following:
# To show anger or resentment; take offense: bridling at the criticism.

Can someone adjust this in the glossary?

Well, here you go with my unbridled criticism Wink
