Etymology
'hazardously-detached' originates from the combination of 'hazardous' and 'detached', where 'hazardous' comes from the Old French 'hasardeux', meaning 'dangerous', and 'detached' from the French 'détacher', meaning 'to unfasten'.
'hazardously-detached' evolved from the combination of the words 'hazardous' and 'detached', which were used separately in Middle English and later combined in modern English to describe a dangerous state of separation.
Initially, 'hazardous' meant 'risky or dangerous', and 'detached' meant 'separated'. Together, they evolved to describe a state of dangerous separation.
