independently connected
Etymology
'autonomously-linked' originates from the combination of 'autonomous' and 'linked'. 'Autonomous' comes from Greek 'autonomos', where 'auto-' meant 'self' and 'nomos' meant 'law'. 'Linked' comes from Old English 'hlencan', meaning 'to join or connect'.
'autonomously' evolved from 'autonomous', which was derived from Greek, and 'linked' from Old English 'hlencan'. The combination of these words formed the modern term 'autonomously-linked'.
Initially, 'autonomous' meant 'self-governing', and 'linked' meant 'connected'. The combined term 'autonomously-linked' retains these meanings, emphasizing independent connection.
