unextinguished

Not yet quenched

Still burning, glowing, or active—not put out or suppressed.

An unextinguished fire continues to smolder; an unextinguished hope persists despite setbacks.

The word appears in formal or literary contexts: The unextinguished embers reignited overnight.

It emphasizes that something expected to die out has not.
