Free from bias or personal involvement; impartial and objective. Not influenced by personal interest or advantage in a matter.
From 'dis-' (not) and 'interested,' originally meaning not having a personal stake. The word appeared in English in the 17th century, though it's often confused with 'uninterested' (not caring).
Don't confuse with 'uninterested'! A disinterested judge CARES about justice but has no personal stake in the outcome. Think 'dis-invested' - not financially invested, therefore fair.
