What does neglected mean?
Not given enough attention or care; neglected things are often in a poor or unclean state. A person who is neglected may be unhappy or unwell because they are not being looked after properly.
Example
"The neglected garden was overgrown with weeds and needed a lot of work to restore it to its former beauty."
