untasseled
Lacking decorative threads
Untasseled describes something lacking tassels—the decorative bunches of loose threads or cords that hang from curtains, graduation caps, or ceremonial garments.
The word appears most often in agriculture, where untasseled corn has had its pollen-producing tops removed to control pollination: The untasseled rows will be fertilized by their neighbors.
