Without precedent

NEW

Think of a word that describes something just introduced or never seen before, like a product launch or a fresh idea. It’s the opposite of old or familiar.

"Without precedent" means something has never happened before, which directly points to the word "new." The clue plays on the literal meaning—if there’s no prior example, it’s fresh or unprecedented. It’s a straightforward definition with no hidden wordplay, just a clean link between the idea of originality and the answer.
