Unbroken means continuous, whole, or not interrupted. When something is unbroken, it hasn't been damaged, divided, or stopped.

A vase that survives a fall without cracking remains unbroken. An unbroken line stretches from one point to another without any gaps. A family tradition passed down for five generations stays unbroken when each generation continues it. A winning streak becomes an unbroken record when the victories keep coming, game after game, without a single loss.

The word often appears when describing persistence or endurance. A long-distance runner might maintain an unbroken pace for miles without slowing down or stopping. A friendship that lasts through disagreements and distance remains unbroken. Wild horses are sometimes called unbroken until someone trains them to accept a rider: their spirit and independence remain intact.

Think of unbroken as describing something that has kept its wholeness despite challenges. When pioneers traveled west in wagon trains, they hoped for unbroken ground, smooth terrain without dangerous ravines or obstacles. The word captures both physical completeness (an unbroken window) and the idea of something continuing without interruption (an unbroken silence, or ten days of unbroken sunshine).
