Crossword Genius

Indifference shown by part of army (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

detachment

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'indifference' is the first definition.
(I know that detachment is a type of indifference)

'shown by' acts as a link.

'part' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'of' acts as a link.

'army' is the third definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for detachment that I've seen before include "squad" , "Aloofness" , "inclination to keep to the objective" , "Disengagement" , "several reserves?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
