用法筆記

Uncountable noun. More common in written than spoken English; speakers often prefer the adjective 'uninhibited' or the phrase 'lack of inhibition.' The quality is usually viewed positively in artistic or social settings, but describing someone's uninhibitedness in a formal office context may imply inappropriate familiarity.
