Fetile

fetile (adj.)
Pronunciation: /ˈfɛt.əl/ or /ˈfi .taɪl/
Definitions:
• Resembling or relating to a fetus; having the physical, emotional, or symbolic qualities of fetal life — undeveloped, fragile, or in a pre-birth state.
• In an early, raw, or formative stage of development; delicate or not yet fully formed.
Etymology:
Coined from fetus + the suffix -ile (as in "juvenile" or "docile"). Created to describe something that is fetus-like or symbolically embryonic in nature.

Note: Not to be confused with fertile. Fetile emphasizes potential, fragility, and early formation.
The concept was still fetile — untouched, vulnerable, and not ready to face the world.
