Does Degage mean to disengage?

Dégagé is a classical ballet term meaning “disengage.” A dégagé is when a dancer moves their leg off the floor from a position with a pointed foot and straight leg to the front, side or back. It gets its name dégagé because the step is a movement, not a position, where a leg “disengages” from the other.
