Etymology
The term 'income-independent' combines 'income,' from Middle English 'incom,' meaning 'money received,' and 'independent,' from Latin 'independens,' meaning 'not dependent.'
'Income' evolved from the Old French 'encombre,' while 'independent' came from the Latin 'independens.'
Initially, 'income' referred to any form of revenue, while 'independent' meant 'not relying on others.' The combined term now refers to something not influenced by income.
