I believe the answer is:

boundless

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'without restrictions as far as one can see?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'without restrictions as far as one' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'without' could be 'less' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'less' is located in the answer.
'one' could be 'un' (northern English dialect form of 'one') and 'un' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'bod' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

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" .)
