'dependence' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'dependere,' where 'de-' meant 'from' and 'pendere' meant 'to hang.' 'Inducing' comes from Latin 'inducere,' where 'in-' meant 'into' and 'ducere' meant 'to lead.'

'dependere' transformed into the Old French word 'dependre,' and eventually became the modern English word 'dependence.' 'Inducere' transformed into the Old French word 'induire,' and eventually became the modern English word 'induce.'

Initially, 'dependence' meant 'to hang from something,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'reliance on something.' 'Inducing' has largely retained its original meaning of 'leading into or causing.'
