unscratched

/ʌnskɹˈætʃt/ adj

Not scratched.

Word Origin Scratch is from Proto-Germanic skrat-, from PIE *sker- 'to cut' — the same root that gives us shear, sharp, and scar. Unscratched means not marked by scratching. The word scratchy describes a rough texture, and scratcher is a tool or person that scratches. The breakdown un+scratch+ed simply adds the negative prefix and past participle suffix.
