the.com/autonomy
the freedom to make your own mistakes instead of obeying someone else's
means the capacity or right to govern oneself and make one's own decisions, free from external control.
from From Greek autonomia, stitched together from autos 'self' and nomos 'law' — literally 'living by one's own laws.' It first described Greek city-states that wrote their own statutes rather than bowing to a foreign power, then drifted into English in the 17th century to cover anyone, or any thing, that calls its own shots.
