'dependently-connected' originates from the combination of 'dependent' and 'connected', where 'dependent' comes from Latin 'dependere', meaning 'to hang down from', and 'connected' from Latin 'connectere', meaning 'to bind together'.

'Dependently-connected' evolved from the combination of the words 'dependent' and 'connected', which have been used in English since the Middle Ages.

Initially, 'dependent' meant 'hanging down from', and 'connected' meant 'bound together'. Over time, 'dependently-connected' evolved to mean 'connected in a manner that relies on something else'.
