Self-governing (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

independent

'self-governing' is the definition.
(I know that self-governing can be written as independent)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for independent that I've seen before include "us" , "Capable of acting for oneself" , "Autonomous" , "Self-reliant" , "not involving others" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Guardian.
