'Resource' evolved from Old French 'resourse' to Middle English 'resourse', and 'independent' evolved from Latin 'independens' to Middle English 'independente'.
Initially, 'resource' meant 'a source of supply', and 'independent' meant 'not dependent'. The compound 'resource-independent' retains these meanings, emphasizing autonomy from external resources.
