uncontentious
Causing no dispute
Uncontentious describes something unlikely to provoke disagreement or controversy.
An uncontentious proposal meets little opposition; an uncontentious fact is widely accepted.
The word appears most often in formal or bureaucratic contexts: The committee approved the uncontentious items first.
It suggests blandness or broad acceptability rather than active agreement.
