disinterests
Fails to engage
Disinterests is the third-person singular of disinterest, meaning to cause someone to lose interest or concern: The technical jargon disinterests casual readers.
Less commonly, it means to free from bias or personal stake—related to the adjective disinterested, which properly means impartial rather than uninterested, though this distinction is fading in casual use.
