undocked
Free from pier
Undocked describes something that has been disconnected or separated from a docking station or port.
A laptop is undocked when removed from its desktop dock.
A spacecraft undocks from a station.
In software, an undocked window or panel floats freely rather than being anchored to an interface edge: I prefer working with the toolbar undocked.
