unreaped
Left in field
Unreaped describes crops that have not been harvested, still standing in the field: unreaped wheat swaying in the wind.
Figuratively, it applies to rewards or benefits not yet collected: unreaped profits, unreaped consequences.
The word carries a sense of potential still waiting to be gathered.
