unseen
Hidden from view
Unseen means not seen or not visible.
Something unseen may be hidden, overlooked, or simply not yet encountered: unseen dangers, an unseen hand.
The unseen refers collectively to things beyond ordinary perception—spirits, forces, or realms not accessible to the eye: belief in the unseen.
An unseen exam is one the student hasn't previewed.
