Meaning:
Detachable means capable of being separated or removed from something else. It refers to something that is not permanently attached or fixed in place.
Origin:
The word "detachable" first appeared in the mid-17th century. It was formed by combining the prefix "de-" with the stem of the Old French verb "destachier," which itself came from the Latin verb "dis-" (apart) and the verb "attacher" (to fasten). The word "able" has been used in English since the 14th century and comes from the Latin word "habilis," meaning "able, capable."
