The answer

UNLIT

What unlit means

Not illuminated or lit up; dark or lacking light.

Where the word comes from

From the prefix un- (Old English, meaning "not") combined with lit, the past tense of light. Light comes from Old English lēoht, from Proto-Germanic *leuhta-, ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root *leuk- meaning "to shine" or "be bright." The un- prefix negates the sense, creating the opposite of illuminated.
