The adjective undefiled means <em>pure</em>, <em>immaculate</em>.

The words in this sentence which help the readers infer the meaning of this word are the words <em>pure </em>and <em>genuine</em>, because they are synonymous with the word <em>undefiled</em>. The writer uses these two synonyms to describe the sources and the diction which links to the writers before restoration.
