desprendidos

Desprendidos is the plural masculine form of the Spanish adjective desprendido, derived from the verb desprender ("to detach" or "to give off"). As an adjective, it describes things or people characterized by detachment, separation, or liberality, and its precise sense depends on context and regional usage.

In a physical sense, desprendidos refers to objects that have come loose or been detached, as in partes desprendidas of a structure or fragments that have separated from a larger whole. In medical and technical contexts it can describe detached tissues or components, though specific terms (e.g., desprendimiento de retina) are more common for diagnoses.

As a personal trait, desprendidos commonly denotes generosity or lack of attachment to material goods. In many Spanish-speaking regions, describing people as desprendidos implies they are open-handed, unselfish, or not possessive. Conversely, it can also mean emotionally detached, aloof, or careless, depending on tone and locality.

The term appears in literature and everyday speech both literally and figuratively, often in contrast with words denoting attachment, greed, or animosity. Related forms include the verb desprender, the noun desprendimiento (detachment), and the feminine plural desprendidas. Usage notes emphasize context and regional variation in meaning, making desprendidos a flexible descriptor in Spanish semantics.
