Origin of the word disengage

"Disengage" comes from the Old French "desengager," meaning "to free from entanglement." It combines the prefix "dis-" (meaning "not" or "away from") and "engager" (meaning "to engage," from the Latin "in-gagiare," meaning "to pledge"). So, "disengage" literally means "to free from being engaged" or "to release from something."
