uncalculating

/ʌŋkˈælkjʊlˌeɪɾɪŋ/ adj

Not calculating; not conniving; innocent.

Word Origin 'Calculate' comes from Latin 'calculus' meaning 'small stone'—because Romans used pebbles for counting. Uncalculating means not calculating, not scheming. The root gives us calculator, calculation, and calculus (the math of change). The un- prefix negates, and -ing makes it an adjective.
