Usage Note

Insospettato describes something — a talent, a connection, a problem — that was not suspected or anticipated: una capacità insospettata ('an unsuspected ability'). It should not be confused with insospettabile ('above suspicion'), which means a person cannot be suspected of wrongdoing. The adjective agrees in gender and number normally.

Examples

"Aveva un talento insospettato per la pittura."

Natural Translation

She had an unsuspected talent for painting.
