autonomization
Gaining self-rule process
Autonomization is the process of making something autonomous or self-governing.
The term appears in political contexts—a region's autonomization from central authority—and in technical or organizational settings where systems or units gain independence: The autonomization of local branches allowed faster decision-making.
In medical contexts, it can describe tissue or organs becoming functionally independent.
