unreflected
Passing straight through
Unreflected describes something not thrown back or mirrored—light that passes through rather than bounces, or a surface that fails to show an image: The unreflected beam continued through the glass.
Less commonly, it describes thoughts or feelings not yet examined or considered: unreflected assumptions about how the world works.
