unlicked

Where it comes from

From un- + licked.

adjective

not comparable Newborn (of an animal), not yet licked into shape; (by extension, of a person) naïve, inexperienced, unrefined. Rachel was an unlicked girl, no doubt prolific of confidences, the very first of which would be: ‘You see, I don't get on with my father.’
not comparable Crude, unpolished; not skilfully formed or finished. [M]uch which I have heard objected to my late friend’s writings was well-founded. Crude they are, I grant you—a sort of unlicked, incondite things—villainously pranked in an affected array of antique modes and phrases.
not comparable Not licked (by the tongue).
not comparable Unbeaten, undefeated.
