unawoken
Not yet roused
Unawoken describes someone or something that has not been awakened—still asleep or, more often, still dormant in a figurative sense.
A person with unawoken potential has abilities that haven't yet emerged.
An unawoken consciousness remains unaware or spiritually dormant.
The word appears in literary and philosophical contexts more than everyday speech.
