vocabulary简明 When a group wants to govern itself or a person wants to make independent decisions, they are looking for autonomy.
vocabulary扩展 Autonomy comes from the Greek roots auto meaning "self" and nomos meaning "custom" or "law." This reflects the political sense of the word — a group's right to self-government or self-rule. When a person seeks autonomy, he or she would like to be able to make decisions independently from an authority figure. Can you relate?
