(of pages of a book) having adjacent leaves still joined at the fore edge; "a book with its leaves still uncut" not shaped by cutting or trimming; "an uncut diamond"; "rough gemstones" not cut; "glad to get out of the house with my throat uncut"- Tobias Smollett
Something that is uncut has not been cut. a patch of uncut grass Trees were to be left uncut, roads unpaved
a state where the page edge(s) of the book are rough or uneven This is usually dealt with in the binding process whereby the top, bottom and fore edges of the book are trimmed to be smooth This is not the same as "unopened"
Not cut; not separated or divided by cutting or otherwise; said especially of books, periodicals, and the like, when the leaves have not been separated by trimming in binding
