spun off
Split into independent
Spun off is the past tense of spin off, meaning to create something new from an existing entity.
A company spins off a division into a separate business: The tech giant spun off its cloud services unit.
A television show spins off when a character gets their own series: The sitcom spun off three successful shows.
The phrase suggests organic emergence rather than deliberate creation—something that naturally separated from a larger whole.
