unblamed
Free from fault
Unblamed describes someone or something that has not been held responsible or faulted for a wrongdoing.
If you emerge from a scandal unblamed, no one has pointed the finger at you.
The word appears most often in formal or literary contexts: She remained unblamed despite the project's failure.
It carries a slightly different shade than innocent—unblamed suggests simply that blame hasn't landed on you, whether deserved or not.
