unjointed
Lacking any articulation
Unjointed means lacking joints or not divided into segments.
An unjointed fishing rod is a single piece rather than sections that connect.
In anatomy or zoology, unjointed appendages have no articulated segments: The worm's unjointed body moved in waves.
The word can also describe something that has been taken apart at the joints, though this sense is rare.
