unaffixed
Lacking any additions
Unaffixed means not attached or fastened to anything.
In linguistics, an unaffixed word lacks prefixes or suffixes—it stands as a bare root: The unaffixed form "walk" becomes "walked" with the past tense suffix.
More generally, something unaffixed remains loose or unfastened: The stamp was unaffixed and fell out of the envelope.
