We crossed the ocean, the rivers, and moved westwards.
Where can we go now, but upwards?
Before we go to space, we conquer cyber space, then beyond.
The term “autonomy” comes from the Greek word “autonomos,” which is a combination of two parts: “autos” (meaning “self”) and “nomos” (meaning “law” or “custom”). Thus, “autonomos” essentially means “self-governing” or “having one’s own laws.” The concept evolved to refer broadly to self-determination, independence, and the ability to make one’s own decisions without external control. The word was adopted into English in the early 17th century.
