Uncertain

/ʌnˈsɜːrtən/ adjective

Definition

not known or not reliable; not clearly defined or determined

Etymology

from un- + certain, from Latin certus 'settled, sure'

Kelly Says

Uncertainty might feel uncomfortable, but it's actually the engine of discovery - if we knew everything, there'd be nothing left to explore!
