Interdependence is the situation in which people, groups, or things need each other. One side cannot stand completely alone; if you pull one piece away, the others feel it. Countries that buy food and parts from one another, workplaces where one team’s output is another team’s input, and plants and insects that keep each other going all show interdependence. This is the noun: it names the situation itself. It is more formal than “we need each other,” and you will meet it in school texts about society, the environment, and the world economy. Though actually, it sits near independence but points the other way. A person can still be independent in some choices and live inside interdependence in others — the two ideas are not a simple on/off switch.
組成From inter- (“between / each other”) + dependence (“the state of needing someone or something”). inter- comes from Latin inter.
