'memory-independent' originates from the combination of 'memory' and 'independent', where 'memory' refers to the ability to store and recall information, and 'independent' means not relying on something else.
'memory' and 'independent' have been used in English since the Middle Ages, but the compound form 'memory-independent' is a modern term used in technology and cognitive sciences.
Initially, 'memory' referred to the mental capacity to store information, and 'independent' meant self-sufficient. Together, they now describe systems or processes that do not rely on memory.
