uncaught
Evading capture still
Uncaught describes something that has not been caught—whether a ball, a criminal, or an error.
In computing, an uncaught exception is an error condition that no part of the program handles, often causing a crash: The uncaught exception brought down the whole application.
Outside technical contexts: The uncaught thief struck again.
