deperdit

[Lat. deperditum, neut. pa. par. of deperdo =to lose: de (intens.) and per do =to lose.] Anything which is lost or destroyed. Crabb thus discriminates between dependance and reliance: "Dependance is the general term; reliance is a species of dependance : we depend either on persons or things; we rely on persons only: dependance serves for that which is immediate or remote; reliance serves for the future only. Wo depend upon a person for that which we are obliged to receive or led to expect from him: werely upon a person for that which he has given us reason to expect from him. Dependance is an outward condition or the state of external circumstances; re liance is a state of the feelings with regard to ch. v., § 4. others. Wo depend upon God for all that we have or shall have; we rely upon the word of man for that which he has promised to perform. We desperately. may depend upon a person's coming from a variety of causes; but we rely upon it only in reference to his avowed intention." (Crabb: Eng. Synon.) dě pěnd-ent, de-pendant, a. & s.
