<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">autonomous</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that autonomous can be written as independent)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for independent that I've seen before include "not involving others" , "Self-reliant" , "paper" , "Self-governing - newspaper" , "us" .)
