undeparted
Not yet gone
Undeparted means not having left or departed—still present, remaining in place.
The word is rare and literary, typically describing souls, spirits, or the dead who have not moved on: the undeparted ghost lingered in the hallway.
It can also describe anyone who hasn't yet gone: The undeparted guests continued their conversation well past midnight.
