Hi:
I'm a first time user - happy to be here. I had a colleague ask the following question:
If you're dependent on something, what's that something called?
He's looking for the other half of the relationship similar to antecedent/descendent, but I haven't a clue.
Any thoughts?

Collocations ... (when you say *the other ***
)
You're dependent on something or somebody (to live/survive)
He has 4 dependent children
mutual dependence (importance of collocations!)
dependence on one's parents
drug dependence
Country XYZ ... a dependency of the USA
financial dependency
his dependency on the welfare state
descendAnt is with an *** = she's a direct descendant of So-and-So

I don't know what you mean by antecedent/descendent.
