Etymology
'farming-dependent' originates from the combination of 'farming,' which comes from Old English 'feormian,' meaning 'to provision,' and 'dependent,' from Latin 'dependere,' meaning 'to hang down from.'
'farming' evolved from Old English 'feormian' to Middle English 'farmen,' and 'dependent' from Latin 'dependere' to Middle English 'dependent.'
Initially, 'farming' meant 'to provision or supply,' and 'dependent' meant 'to hang down from,' but over time, they evolved to mean 'agricultural activity' and 'relying on,' respectively.
