UNREVENGED Meaning and Definition

1. Unrevenged is an adjective that describes a situation where an offense, harm, or injustice has not been avenged or retribution has not been sought or taken. It implies a lack of retaliation or seeking revenge against the supposed perpetrator, allowing the offense to go unpunished or unredressed.

   The term "unrevenged" suggests the absence of a desired or expected response towards righting a wrong or seeking retribution for a perceived harm or wrongdoing. It signifies a passive or forgiving approach, where the injured party chooses not to retaliate or confront the offender, possibly rooted in principles of mercy, forgiveness, or nonviolence.

   To leave a situation unrevenged may suggest that the aggrieved party either does not wish to escalate the conflict or prefers to embrace a non-confrontational attitude to maintain peace and harmony. It could also imply that seeking vengeance may not be practical, feasible, or necessary in the particular circumstance.

   The term connotes a sense of unresolved grievances, where the injured party has chosen to accept the injustice or harm, either by choice or due to an inability to rectify the situation. It highlights the enduring presence of the offense and the absence of any form of retribution, ultimately leaving the wrongdoer untouched by the consequences of their actions.

2. Not having inflicted punishment in return for injury; not vindicated by just punishment.
