Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term 'dependency' originates from the Latin word 'dependere', meaning 'to hang from' or 'to rely on'. It evolved through Middle French 'dépendance' before entering English in the late 14th century, where it began to encompass broader meanings related to reliance and subordination.
