unpassed
Not yet enacted
Unpassed describes something that has not been passed, whether a bill that failed to become law, a test that wasn't completed successfully, or a physical barrier that remains uncrossed.
The unpassed legislation sat in committee for months.
It can also characterize roads or terrain that no one has traveled through: unpassed wilderness.
The word is uncommon, with more specific alternatives like unpassable, failed, or blocked often preferred depending on context.
