linearly disjoint (Definition)

Let $E$ and $F$ be subfields of $L$ each containing a field $K$ $E$ is said to be linearly disjoint from $F$ over $K$ if every subset of $E$ linearly independent over $K$ is also linearly independent over $F$

Remark. If $E$ is linearly disjoint from $F$ over $K$ then $F$ is linearly disjoint from $E$ over $K$ Then one can speak of $E$ and $F$ being linearly disjoint over $K$ without causing any confusions.
