unfallen

Not yet toppled

Unfallen describes something that has not fallen—literally or, more often, spiritually.

The word appears most frequently in theological contexts referring to a state before sin or corruption: unfallen humanity, the unfallen angels.

It evokes Eden before the Fall, innocence not yet lost.

Her unfallen faith remained intact despite everything.
