unfeigned
Not put on
Unfeigned means genuine or sincere—not pretended or put on.
The word emphasizes authenticity by negating the possibility of falseness: unfeigned enthusiasm, unfeigned gratitude, unfeigned surprise.
It appears most often in formal or literary contexts where the writer wants to stress that an emotion or quality is real rather than performed.
