unbated
Not grown dull
Unbated means undiminished or unabated—with full force or intensity maintained.
The word appears most famously in Shakespeare's *Hamlet*, where it describes a sword whose edge has not been blunted for practice: with a sword unbated.
Outside this literary context, the word is rare; unabated serves the same purpose in modern English.
