unstained
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, accusative feminine singular (Gr,AA,,,,AFS); attributive form modifying a feminine singular noun in the accusative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Unstained" directly reflects the alpha privative plus the root meaning "to stain/defile," conveying the state of being free from contamination. As an accusative feminine singular adjective, it describes a feminine singular noun in the accusative case without altering its core adjectival sense in English. |
