東西沒有接上
這是核心畫面最直接的樣子:真的有一個東西,沒有被固定住。
adjective · B2
Not joined or fastened to anything: either completely separate, or loose at one end.
沒接上的
You can picture a loose end: a rope, a cable, a pole with nothing holding it to anything else. Every use of the word is that same picture with a different kind of line missing — a rope to a post, a person to a partner, a person to an organisation.
un- + attached: 'attached' is joined on, and 'un-' takes that away, leaving the free end.
un-(沒有)加上 attached(被接上)。attached 是「接上了」,un- 把它拿掉,剩下的就是那個鬆開的頭。
