filterless
Lacking any screen
Filterless describes something lacking a filter—the component that screens, blocks, or refines.
A filterless cigarette has no material at the tip to reduce tar and nicotine.
Filterless can also describe unrestrained speech or behavior: Her filterless comments at dinner made everyone uncomfortable.
The figurative sense draws on the idea of a mental filter that prevents inappropriate thoughts from becoming words.
