anyone know any?
I was walking along, composing something in my head, in which I wanted to use such a word. All I came up with was "non-autonomous." I became so intrigued with the search for a word meaning the opposite of autonomous, I now cannot remember what the hell I was writing in my head.
Sighhhhhh
But I'm still curious about the word!

How 'bout sycophantic, suckling, parasitic, milk-soppy, addicted, imprisoned, restricted, limited, captured, bound-up, erased, obliterated.... I'm stretching here into existentially annihilation!

To demonstrate my outstanding command of the obvious, "heteronomous".

yes, but "not named after a car" is not just one word, now, is it?! I wish I could remember what the hell I was trying to write in my head - then I could choose better from the exquisite selection provided above...! Dammit. That's the problem with writing in one's head - sometimes you lose the best stuff (the ones that got away) and sometimes you lose the plot entirely.

If someone will help me with my Greek or Latin, we can figure this out!
Auto = self.
What word would mean OTHER?
Other-omous, it would become, yes? But what's the prefix in Latin or Greek? Neat question!
