nontender

Lacking pain response

Nontender describes something that doesn't hurt when touched or pressed.

The term appears almost exclusively in medical contexts, where a doctor examining a patient might note that the abdomen is nontender, meaning palpation causes no pain.

The finding helps rule out inflammation or injury in the examined area.
