master-slave
Dominant and dependent
Master-slave describes a control relationship where one component (the master) directs another (the slave).
In computing and electronics, a master device initiates commands while slave devices respond: a master-slave flip-flop circuit, master-slave database replication.
The terminology has become controversial for its evocation of human slavery, prompting some organizations to adopt alternatives like primary-secondary or leader-follower.
