removed
No longer present
Removed means taken away or eliminated: The surgeon removed the tumor.
It also describes emotional or social distance—someone removed from a situation is detached or uninvolved: She seemed removed from the conversation.
In family relationships, removed indicates generational separation: a first cousin once removed is your cousin's child or your parent's cousin.
