Etymology
'independently-controlled' originates from the combination of 'independent' and 'control', where 'independent' comes from Latin 'independens', meaning 'not dependent', and 'control' from French 'contreroller', meaning 'to check or regulate'.
'independent' evolved from the Latin 'independens', while 'control' transformed from the French 'contreroller' to the modern English 'control'.
Initially, 'independent' meant 'not dependent', and 'control' meant 'to check or regulate'. Together, they evolved to mean 'managed without external influence'.
