Separated, being indifferent (8)
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" .)
