unharm - this isn't a word is it <cross>

[Cappuccino]

yet dd (7) has to learn to spell it

unharmed is a word though isn't it?

Well, 'unharmed' is. But I don't think so, either. Still, it's easy to spell (if non-existent).

Er no, surely that's not a real word. You can harm someone but you can't then undo the harm. You can 'cure' or 'rectify' but 'unharm', no.

I googled it

I found a message on a forum thread saying 'my 7 year old has been asked to learn this but I am not sure it is a word'

no joke

No, not a word.

If it constitues proof of sorts, I just checked it in the SOWPODS Scrabulous dictionary and it said 'UNHARM is NOT a valid word' and that would have it if it was.
