anirdhārita

 The Sanskrit word “anirdhārita” (अनिर्धारित) means “not determined,” “undetermined,” “unascertained,” or “undefined.”

Definition and Usage

Anirdhārita is an adjective formed as a negation of the word nirdhārita, 

which means “determined” or “ascertained.” The prefix a- in Sanskrit 

typically denotes negation, so anirdhārita literally conveys the sense

of being “not fixed or established.” This word is used to describe

things, states, or matters that are uncertain, undecided, 

or not concretely defined
