unprefixed
Lacking initial modifier
Unprefixed describes a word or form that lacks a prefix—the element attached to the beginning of a root word to modify its meaning.
The unprefixed form "do" becomes "undo" or "redo" with prefixes attached.
The term appears mainly in linguistic and grammatical contexts.
