dependently-linked
|de-pend-ent-ly-linked|
/dɪˈpɛndəntli-lɪŋkt/
reliant connection
Etymology
'dependently-linked' originates from the combination of 'dependent' and 'linked', where 'dependent' comes from Latin 'dependere', meaning 'to hang down', and 'linked' from Old English 'hlencan', meaning 'to join'.
'Dependent' evolved from the Latin 'dependere' through Old French 'depondre', while 'linked' evolved from Old English 'hlencan'.
Initially, 'dependent' meant 'to hang down', but over time it evolved to mean 'relying on something else'. 'Linked' has maintained its meaning of 'joined or connected'.
