Etymology
The word 'disengaged' originated from the combination of the prefix 'dis-' meaning 'not' or 'do the opposite of' and the word 'engaged' meaning 'busy' or 'involved'. It first appeared in the mid-17th century in English literature, describing a state of being unoccupied or not involved in a particular activity. Over time, 'disengaged' has evolved to also encompass a lack of interest or enthusiasm towards something.
