Etymology
From un- + protesting.
Adjective
unprotesting (comparative more unprotesting, superlative most unprotesting)
- Not protesting; compliant, docile.
- 1922, Edwin Bjorkman, The Soul of a Child:
- Just as the parental attitude toward the nearest neighbours suggested a kindly but unsentimental tolerance of inferiors, so it became unmistakably tinged with a slightly jealous but unprotesting submission to superiors whenever the lower floors were reached.
