unclipped

Not yet trimmed

Unclipped means not trimmed or cut back.

A hedge left unclipped grows wild; unclipped wings allow a bird to fly.

In speech, unclipped pronunciation gives full value to each syllable rather than swallowing sounds: Her unclipped British diction made every word distinct.

Unclipped can also describe something still attached—a badge not yet removed, a coupon not yet cut out.
