Etymology
'motion-dependent' originates from the combination of 'motion' and 'dependent', where 'motion' comes from Latin 'motio', meaning 'movement', and 'dependent' comes from Latin 'dependere', meaning 'to hang down'.
'motion' changed from the Latin word 'motio' and 'dependent' from 'dependere', eventually forming the modern English term 'motion-dependent'.
Initially, it meant 'relying on movement', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
