Not dependent; independent or no longer attached as a subordinate part; capable of standing alone.
From dis- (negation) + appendant (attached, dependent). Appendant comes from Latin appendere (to hang upon), from ad- (to) + pendere (to hang).
In architecture and heraldry, a disappendant feature is one that stands independently rather than hanging from or leaning on something else—a useful distinction when describing ornamental designs or family crests.
