nonattached

/nˌɑnætˈætʃt/ adj

Not attached

Word Origin The non- prefix (Latin for 'not') plus attached, which comes from Frankish 'stakka' meaning 'stake, pole' — so nonattached literally means 'not staked down.' The original idea of attaching was tying something to a stake, and you can still see that in words like attack (originally 'to fasten to') and thumbtack. The breakdown non+attach+ed: free from being pegged.
