unabused

Spared from harm

Unabused describes someone or something that has not been subjected to abuse—whether physical, emotional, or otherwise mistreated.

The word appears most often in contexts discussing children, animals, or systems: unabused children show different developmental patterns, the unabused portion of the database.

It can also describe things not misused or exploited: an unabused privilege.
