Morphology
disinvolvement = involvement (transparent) = dis + involve + ment
The meaning is directly recoverable as 'lack of involvement' from the familiar noun 'involvement' plus the negative prefix 'dis-'.
Etymology
Disinvolvement is made from dis- meaning 'not' and involvement (from involve, 'to take part'). So it means 'not taking part', the act or state of stepping back or leaving an activity.
