unground
Still in beans
Unground describes something that hasn't been ground—coffee beans still whole, spices not yet pulverized: I accidentally bought unground pepper.
The word also means lacking grounding or foundation: an unground electrical outlet poses shock risk; an unground assumption lacks supporting evidence.
Her fears proved unground uses the rarer sense of unfounded.
