Etymology: "Unintroduced" is a plain formation: the prefix "un-", meaning "not", attached to "introduced", the past participle of "introduce". "Introduce" comes from Latin "introducere", literally "to lead inward", built from "intro" ("inward") and "ducere" ("to lead"). The result describes someone or something that has not yet been brought forward or made known to a group, so it applies naturally to a person who has not been formally presented at a gathering.

Synonyms: unpresented, unfamiliar, unknown, unacquainted, unannounced

Antonyms: introduced, presented, acquainted, known, announced
