untanned

Etymology

un- + tanned

adj

  1. Not tanned
    by nature, his manner was not unrefined, his frame slender, and appeared the more so from the broad, untanned frontlet of his brow, tangled over with a disheveled mass of raven curls, throwing a still deeper tinge upon a complexion like that of a shriveled berry. 1857, Herman Melville, chapter XXXVI, in The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade
