interdependence

/ˌɪntɝdəˈpɛndəns/ noun B2

mutual dependence

Word Origin Interdependence literally means 'hanging between each other' — from Latin inter 'between' and dependere 'to hang down'. The idea is that things are suspended, connected, relying on one another. The root pendere 'to hang' is incredibly prolific: it gives us suspend (hang under), pendulum (something that hangs and swings), and even appendix (something attached, hanging on). So interdependence is a web of hanging connections.
