unmeasured
Not yet quantified
Unmeasured means not measured or quantified—left without precise determination of size, amount, or degree: unmeasured quantities of grain.
The word also carries a sense of boundlessness or excess, suggesting something so vast or intense it defies measurement: unmeasured generosity, unmeasured grief.
In poetry and music, unmeasured indicates freedom from strict meter or rhythm.
