self-initiated recovery
Etymology
'voluntarily-recovered' originates from the combination of 'voluntarily' and 'recovered'. 'Voluntarily' comes from Latin 'voluntarius', meaning 'of one's free will', and 'recovered' from Latin 'recuperare', meaning 'to regain'.
'voluntarily' changed from the Latin word 'voluntarius' and 'recovered' from 'recuperare', eventually forming the modern English term 'voluntarily-recovered'.
Initially, 'voluntarily' meant 'of one's free will', and 'recovered' meant 'to regain'. Together, they evolved to mean 'having regained something through one's own effort'.
