Noun
(en noun)Usage notes
Technical term, not widely used in software engineering outside of (agent-oriented programming); the common term dependent is used instead. In agent-oriented programming, the antonym is dependee, though there is no common language equivalent (other metaphors are used instead, such as parent/child). Further, the circumlocutions “A depends on B” and “B is depended on by A” are used for clarity.Synonyms
