unasterisked
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
