unfused
Still kept apart
Unfused means not joined or merged together.
In electrical contexts, unfused describes a circuit or connection lacking a protective fuse: The unfused wiring posed a fire hazard.
In anatomy or geology, unfused bones or rock layers remain separate rather than grown or melted into one: The skull plates were still unfused.
