Etymology
'independently-connected' originates from the combination of 'independent' and 'connected'. 'Independent' comes from Latin 'independens', meaning 'not dependent', and 'connected' comes from Latin 'connectere', meaning 'to bind together'.
'Independent' evolved from the Latin 'independens' through Old French 'independant', while 'connected' evolved from Latin 'connectere' through Old French 'connecter'.
Initially, 'independent' meant 'not relying on others', and 'connected' meant 'joined together'. The combined term 'independently-connected' retains these meanings, emphasizing a connection that does not rely on other systems.
