unrebuked
Escaped verbal censure
Unrebuked means not criticized or reprimanded.
Someone who goes unrebuked escapes the censure they might have deserved: His rudeness went unrebuked by the host.
The word appears mostly in formal or literary contexts, often implying that correction should have occurred but didn't.
