2 definitions found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Dependant \De*pend"ant\, Dependance \De*pend"ance\, n., Dependancy \De*pend"an*cy\, n. See {Dependent}, {Dependence}, {Dependency}. Note: The forms dependant, dependance, dependancy are from the French; the forms dependent, etc., are from the Latin. Some authorities give preference to the form dependant when the word is a noun thus distinguishing it from the adjective, usually written dependent. From WordNet r 1.6 [wn]: dependant adj 1: contingent on something else [syn: {dependent}, {qualified}] 2: addicted to a drug [syn: {dependent}, {drug-addicted}, {hooked}, {strung-out}] n : a person who relies on another person for support (especially financial support) [syn: {dependent}]
