1. 1

    Untold usually means too great, too many, or too terrible to fully count or describe — 'untold wealth' means an amount of money so large it's hard to state exactly; 'untold suffering' means suffering so bad that words can't fully capture it. Less often, untold keeps its most literal meaning: a story or fact that simply hasn't been told yet ('the untold story of the mission' means nobody has told it publicly before).
