unaccompanied
Going it solo
Unaccompanied means alone or without a companion.
An unaccompanied minor travels without a parent or guardian.
Unaccompanied luggage has no owner present.
In music, unaccompanied means performing solo, without instrumental backing: She sang the aria unaccompanied.
The word often implies vulnerability or incompleteness—something or someone that ought to have company but doesn't.
