undiscerned

Escaped all detection

Undiscerned means not noticed, perceived, or recognized.

Something undiscerned escapes detection or remains hidden from awareness: The error went undiscerned for months.

The word suggests a failure of observation rather than concealment—the thing was there to be seen but wasn't.
