at large
Escaped and uncaptured
At large means free or unconfined, especially when someone should be contained: The suspect is still at large.
It also means as a whole or in general: society at large, the public at large.
An ambassador-at-large or representative-at-large serves without being assigned to a particular place or constituency.
