Relying on another
Dependent describes something that relies on or is determined by something else: The outcome is dependent on several factors.
A dependent is a person who relies on another for support, especially financial—typically children or elderly relatives: She claimed three dependents on her taxes.
The spelling dependant exists as a British variant, mainly for the noun.
To be dependent on a substance is to be addicted to it.
