unresisted

Allowed without opposition

Unresisted describes something that meets no opposition or resistance.

An unresisted advance encounters no obstacles; an unresisted impulse goes unchecked.

The word often appears in military or political contexts: The troops made an unresisted crossing.

It can also describe internal states—desires or temptations that one doesn't fight against.
