Disrelated

/dɪsrɪˈleɪtɪd/ adjective

Definition

No longer connected or related; having been separated or disconnected from a previous relationship or association.

Etymology

From disrelate + -ed (past participle suffix). The adjective form emphasizes a state of separation rather than the action of separating.

Kelly Says

DNA studies have shown that many 'disrelated' populations actually share common ancestors—what we thought were completely unrelated groups sometimes reveal hidden historical connections through genetic evidence.
