unreplying
Not answering back
Unreplying describes someone who doesn't respond, particularly to messages or correspondence.
The word is rare and literary, suggesting a deliberate or persistent silence rather than mere delay: She stared at his unreplying face, The unreplying inbox mocked her.
It carries a faintly accusatory tone—the person *could* reply but doesn't.
