Morphology

disengaged = disengage (transparent) = dis + engage + ed

This is the regular past tense and past participle formation of the verb 'disengage'.

Etymology

Disengaged is the past form of disengage, which joins dis- 'not' and engage 'to hold or attach'. So if someone disengaged something, they 'separated' or 'released' it from what held it before.
