Its a real word taken from disengage - To become free.

Double declutch would be to change to a lower gear in a motor vehicle by first placing the gear lever into the neutral position before engaging the desired gear, at the same time releasing the clutch pedal and increasing the engine speed.

The second one is used by enthusiasts more as declutch and double declutch are not the same thing.
