unbought
Left on shelf
Unbought means not purchased.
Something remains unbought when no buyer has acquired it: The unbought inventory sat in the warehouse.
The word also carries a moral sense—not corrupted by money, maintaining integrity: an unbought conscience, unbought loyalty.
Politicians boast of being unbought to signal they haven't been swayed by donors or special interests.
