unstained (fem. acc. sg.)
| Morphological Notes | Adjective; accusative feminine singular (AFS) in one occurrence and accusative masculine singular (AMS) in another; describes a noun as without stain or blemish. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Unstained" directly reflects the alpha-privative prefix (not) joined to σπιλ- (spot, stain), preserving the core idea of being without blemish. The feminine accusative singular form is maintained to reflect the specific morphological shape of this adjective. |
