unabridged
Nothing left out
Unabridged means complete and not shortened.
An unabridged dictionary contains the full range of words and definitions, unlike abridged versions that omit less common entries.
An unabridged novel preserves the author's original text: I prefer the unabridged edition—the cuts weakened the story.
The word implies nothing has been removed for brevity or convenience.
