unfixed
Still not attached
Unfixed means not fastened, settled, or established.
A shelf comes unfixed from the wall; a plan remains unfixed until finalized.
Something unfixed lacks permanence or stability: Her gaze was unfixed, staring at nothing.
The word can describe physical attachment or abstract states—an unfixed price, an unfixed schedule, an unfixed opinion.
