unhonored
Given no acclaim
Unhonored means not given recognition, respect, or tribute.
An unhonored promise was never fulfilled.
An unhonored hero receives no acknowledgment for their deeds.
The word often carries a note of injustice—someone or something deserving honor that went without: He died unhonored and forgotten.
