reliances
Things leaned on
Reliances is the plural of reliance, meaning instances or forms of depending on something.
A single reliance is trust placed in one thing; reliances are multiple such dependencies: His reliances on caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol were all unhealthy.
The plural is uncommon, as reliance typically appears as an uncountable noun.
