Derived from the
French past participle
dégager, to
disengage,
dégagé is an
adjective
synonymous with
unconstrained,
easy, and
free.
While someone with a
blasé attitude
may appear dégagé, it is only because
s/he has overindulged in some pleasure. The truly
dégagé person is like a cork in the
lake,
carelessly floating wherever the
fates
may desire.
