Undealt is an adjective that is used to describe something that has not been distributed, assigned, or given out. It refers to a situation or an object that remains untouched, unallocated, or unapportioned. The term is commonly employed to depict items, tasks, decisions, or actions that have not yet been addressed, executed, or dealt with in any manner.

These cards await their turn to be dealt to the participants. Similarly, in a gambling context, undealt cards refer to the remaining ones in the deck that are yet to be circulated or distributed to the players.
In a wider context, undealt can be used figuratively to describe situations, issues, or matters that have not been addressed, resolved, or tackled. For instance, undealt problems refer to unresolved issues or challenges that still exist or persist. These problems have not been properly addressed or managed, and thus continue to have an impact.
Overall, the term undealt pertains to things or circumstances that remain unattended, unassigned, or unprocessed. It signifies the lack of action, allocation, or distribution pertaining to a particular thing, task, or situation.
The word "undealt" is derived from the Old English word "undǣled", which is a combination of "un-" (meaning "not") and "dǣlan" (meaning "to divide" or "to distribute"). Over time, the Old English word evolved into Middle English as "undealt". It is formed by adding the prefix "un-" to the past participle form of the verb "deal", indicating something that has not been distributed or divided.
