Capable of regulating or controlling itself without external intervention.
From 'auto-' (self) and 'regulative' (from Latin 'regula' meaning rule). Term used across biology, engineering, and psychology to describe self-governing systems.
Your body is amazingly autoregulative—it adjusts temperature, blood pH, glucose levels, and thousands of variables without you thinking about it. If any system failed at self-regulation, you'd be in trouble instantly.
