unpurified
Not yet filtered
Unpurified means not cleansed of impurities or contaminants.
Water that is unpurified hasn't been treated to remove harmful substances.
The term applies to physical substances—unpurified metals, unpurified chemicals—and extends to abstract contexts: unpurified intentions, unpurified motives.
In religious or spiritual contexts, unpurified suggests ritual uncleanliness or moral taint.
