pure
Without any contaminants
Pure means unmixed, unadulterated, or free from contamination.
Pure gold contains no alloys; pure water has no impurities.
The word extends to moral and spiritual cleanliness: a pure heart, pure intentions.
Pure can intensify, meaning absolute or sheer: pure luck, pure nonsense, pure joy.
In academic contexts, pure mathematics or pure science pursues knowledge for its own sake rather than practical application.
