disengagements
Acts of separating
Disengagements are instances of withdrawing or separating from something—a commitment, conflict, position, or connection.
Military disengagements involve pulling forces back from combat or contested areas.
In everyday contexts, the word describes the act of stepping back from involvement: The company announced its disengagement from the controversial project.
Emotional or psychological disengagements suggest detachment or loss of interest in relationships or activities.
