nondead
Not yet deceased
Nondead describes something that is not dead—still alive, still functioning, still relevant.
The word appears in technical contexts where binary states matter: nondead cells, nondead code.
In gaming and horror fiction, nondead sometimes distinguishes the living from both the dead and the undead.
