uncalled
Not asked for
Uncalled means not summoned or not requested.
The word appears almost exclusively in the phrase uncalled for, meaning unwarranted or inappropriate: That remark was completely uncalled for.
Something uncalled for exceeds what the situation requires or violates social expectations—criticism that's too harsh, behavior that's out of line.
