What is the difference between "freedom" and "independence"?

See the entry here:

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/freedom?r=66

Freedom, independence, liberty refer to an absence of undue restrictions and an opportunity to exercise one's rights and powers. Freedom emphasizes the opportunity given for the exercise of one's rights, powers, desires, or the like: freedom of speech or conscience; freedom of movement. Independence implies not only lack of restrictions but also the ability to stand alone, unsustained by anything else: Independence of thought promotes invention and discovery. Liberty, though most often interchanged with freedom, is also used to imply undue exercise of freedom: He took liberties with the text.

Also, freedom is of Germanic origins and independence is from Old French / Latin.

Freedom has two particles, the root "free" and the suffix "-dom." The suffix dom refers to an abstract state, as in wise+dom (state of being wise), King + dom, martyr + dom, bore + dom and others.

Independence has the prefix "in" (not) the suffix "-ence" (signaling a noun), and the root "depend," which can be further broken into a prefix "de" and root "pend."
