unruined

Not yet destroyed

Unruined means not ruined—intact, undamaged, or unspoiled.

The word typically appears where ruin might be expected: The old church stood unruined despite centuries of neglect.

It often carries a note of surprise or relief that something has survived: Her reputation emerged unruined from the scandal.
