* "dependent": the thing that depends on another
  * "dependee": the thing that is depended upon

I was thinking 「依存しているもの」 and 「依存されているもの」.

While 「依存されているもの」 probably works to unambiguously mean "dependee", I can't
shake the seeming ambiguity of 「依存しているもの」. I feel that 「依存しているもの」 could mean
both "dependent" and "dependee", due to how Japanese verb+noun constructs
work.
