disjoined
No longer connected
Disjoined means separated or disconnected—taken apart from something it was once joined to.
The word appears in formal or literary contexts: The provinces became disjoined from the empire.
It suggests a breaking of connection that was previously whole, whether physical, logical, or organizational.
