ungathered

Ungathered is an adjective used to describe something that has not been collected, assembled, or brought together. It signifies a state of being dispersed or unorganized, lacking the cohesion that comes from gathering. For instance, a harvest that is ungathered remains in the fields, or information that is ungathered is scattered and not yet compiled into a coherent body. The word implies a process that has not been completed, with the potential for future collection or organization. It can be applied to physical objects, abstract concepts, or even people who are not yet united. The opposite of gathered, it highlights a state of separation or a lack of consolidation. The term emphasizes the absence of a deliberate act of bringing things into one place or forming them into a single unit.
