The word "disengagedness" is derived from the combination of the prefix "dis-" and the noun "engagedness".
The prefix "dis-" is of Latin origin and conveys negation, separation, or reversal.
The noun "engagedness" is derived from the verb "engage", which comes from the Old French word "engagier", meaning "to pledge". It originally referred to making a formal pledge or commitment, and over time, the meaning expanded to encompass involvement, participation, or occupation with a task or person.
By adding the prefix "dis-" to "engagedness", the resulting word "disengagedness" indicates the state or quality of lacking involvement, commitment, or interest.
