unexpanded
Not yet opened
Unexpanded describes something that has not been enlarged, extended, or developed further.
It often appears in technical contexts: an unexpanded file remains compressed, unexpanded foam hasn't yet activated.
In publishing, an unexpanded edition lacks additional material found in later versions.
The word implies potential for growth that remains unrealized.
