adjective

Pronunciation

UK

US

  • /ˌəndɪˈskəvərd/

Description

Imagine a hidden cove on a remote island, unseen by most people. That's undiscovered. It means something has not been found, explored, or made known yet. It does not mean it will stay that way forever, only that it is still unknown for now.

"Undiscovered" can refer to physical places, like lost cities or parts of nature people have not explored yet. But it also applies to talents, ideas, and even parts of yourself. A brilliant musician might be an "undiscovered talent," waiting for a chance to be noticed. Think of the feeling of exploration and possibility. That is the spirit of something undiscovered.
