Present in an undeveloped form (6)

I believe the answer is:

latent

(Other definitions for latent that I've seen before include "Indiscernible" , "Potential but not active" , "Potentially existing but not presently evident" , "Unrealised, potential" , "Hidden, not manifest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
