Root Explanation

Disconnectedly → It is formed from "dis-" (meaning apart) and "connected" (from the Latin root "connectere", meaning to join together) and the suffix "-ly" (meaning in a manner). The word describes the manner of being apart or not joined together.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'apart' ('dis-') from something that is 'joined' ('connected') — that's why disconnectedly means in a manner that is not joined.
