unreached
Still beyond grasp
Unreached describes something not yet reached or attained.
A goal remains unreached until accomplished: The summit stayed unreached due to weather.
In missionary contexts, unreached peoples are populations with no significant exposure to Christianity: The organization focuses on unreached tribes in remote regions.
The word often implies potential yet to be fulfilled.
