The word "disengaged" can be traced back to the Old French term "desengagier", which was derived from the combination of the prefix "des-" meaning "apart" or "away", and the verb "engagier" meaning "to engage" or "to pledge". In this context, "engagier" referred to a legal obligation or commitment.
Over time, the term "desengagier" evolved into "disengagier" in Middle English, and eventually became "disengage" in Modern English. The current form of "disengaged" emerged in the late 17th century, carrying the meaning of being detached or withdrawn from a particular engagement, occupation, or involvement.
