unimagined
Beyond mental reach
Unimagined describes something not conceived or pictured in the mind—beyond what anyone thought to envision.
It often emphasizes surprising scale or possibility: The internet opened unimagined opportunities.
Unlike unimaginable, which suggests something too extreme to conceive, unimagined simply means no one happened to think of it: unimagined consequences, unimagined wealth.
