uncontemplated
Not yet imagined
Uncontemplated describes something not considered, thought about, or anticipated beforehand.
An uncontemplated consequence catches you off guard because no one imagined it might happen.
The word often appears in legal and formal contexts: The contract didn't address this uncontemplated scenario.
It suggests a gap in foresight rather than mere oversight.
