nonelicited

Nonelicited is an adjective used to describe something that is not called for, requested, or prompted. It suggests an action or response that occurs without any specific stimulus or invitation. The term is often used in contexts where a response is expected or desired, but the nonelicited event happens independently. For example, a nonelicited response might be a comment made by someone that was not directly asked for, or a thought that pops into one's mind without conscious effort. In scientific or experimental settings, a nonelicited observation or result is one that was not specifically being looked for or anticipated. It can also refer to behaviors or phenomena that arise spontaneously rather than as a reaction to a particular trigger. The essence of nonelicited is its lack of being directly caused or brought about by an external prompt.
