Not connected or joined together; separated or disconnected from something else.
From Latin ab- (away, from) + junctus (joined, past participle of jungere, to join). The term describes something that is literally un-joined or removed from a joined state.
This word is practically extinct in modern English, but it reveals how Latin prefixes like 'ab-' were used to create opposites—if something 'junct' means joined, adding 'ab-' flips it to mean unjoinable, which is exactly how English still creates new words today.
