undock
Leave the berth
To undock is to separate something from a docked position.
A boat undocks from a pier, a spacecraft undocks from a station, a laptop undocks from its docking station.
The word appears in computing contexts for detaching windows or toolbars from their default positions: Undock the panel and drag it to your second monitor.
