Definition
Adjective: * Not marked with an asterisk: Describes an item, entry, or piece of text that does not have an asterisk (*) symbol next to it or attached to it. This often indicates that the item is standard, does not have a special note or condition attached, or is not an exception to a rule.
Usage
The word "unasterisked" is used to explicitly state the absence of an asterisk, which is a common typographical symbol used for footnotes, disclaimers, or to mark special conditions. It is typically found in formal, technical, or editorial contexts such as lists, tables, legal documents, or academic papers where the presence or absence of an asterisk carries specific meaning.
