    Meanings

    Adjective

    1. not easily noticed or likely to attract attention

    Beyond the definition

    Something unnoticeable is so small, slight, or well blended in that people do not pay attention to it. It is not invisible; it is still there, but it does not stand out. A quiet sigh in a crowded room may go unheard, and a tiny mark on a wall may pass without anyone seeing it. Sometimes something is made this way on purpose, like camouflage that helps an object blend into its surroundings.
