unexposed
Not yet revealed
Unexposed means not having been exposed.
Film that is unexposed hasn't been subjected to light: The unexposed negatives were still in their canister.
A person unexposed to something hasn't encountered or experienced it: children unexposed to violence, populations unexposed to the virus.
Something unexposed also remains hidden or unrevealed: The scandal went unexposed for years.
