Definition


"The independence" refers to the state or condition of being free from control, influence, or support of others, allowing autonomous operation or decision-making. It often denotes a self-sufficient status in political, personal, or organizational contexts.

Etymology


The term "the independence" derives from the Latin roots 'in-' meaning 'not' and 'dependere' meaning 'to hang down or be contingent upon.' It entered English in the late 16th century and has since been used to describe the condition of not being dependent on others. Did you know that 'independence' originally implied not hanging from or being attached to anything else?
