unbracketed

Lacking enclosing marks

Unbracketed means not enclosed in brackets or parentheses.

In writing and typography, unbracketed text stands without the visual separation that brackets provide: The unbracketed phrase flows directly into the sentence.

In technical contexts, it may describe values or expressions not grouped by mathematical brackets.
