Opposite of tame
Answer:
WILD
Hint:
Think of how untamed animals behave in nature, like lions or wolves—this word describes their unrestrained, natural state.
Explanation:
The clue "Opposite of tame" is a straightforward definition where you’re looking for a word that means the reverse of something domesticated or controlled. "Wild" fits perfectly because it describes animals, plants, or behavior that are untamed and free from human influence. There’s no hidden wordplay here—just a direct contrast between two common adjectives. If you think of a lion in the wild versus one in a zoo, the difference is clear.
