Separated, being indifferent (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

detached

This clue is a double definition.

'separated' is the first definition.
(detaching is a kind of separating)

'indifferent' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'being' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for detached that I've seen before include "Separate; aloof" , "Unprejudiced" , "free of ties" , "cut off" , "Separated from - maybe a house" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
