noninherited
Gained, not given
Noninherited describes traits, conditions, or properties not passed down from ancestors or predecessors.
In genetics, a noninherited mutation arises spontaneously rather than being transmitted from parent to child: The disorder was noninherited—neither parent carried the gene.
In computing and law, noninherited refers to attributes or rights that don't automatically transfer from a parent element or previous owner.
