Difference between depen(a)nt and depend(a)nt

[Mr Mohamed El Sheashaey]

would anyone kindly show the difference between /depen(a)nt/ and /depend(a)nt/

[Bala9008]

depenant - There is no such word AFAIK.
Or you meant the difference between dependant ( person who depends on another for financial support ) and dependent((American English)?

[Mr Mohamed El Sheashaey]

but i think there is difference between the two words (dependent /dependant )as i knew that dependant is the person who is supported but dependent is the person who supports the dependant.thank you

As an adjective, it means relying upon, or depending upon.
As an noun, it refers to someone who relies upon or depends upon another for support.

In AmE, 'dependent' can be used as both the adjective or noun form.

In BrE, the noun form is spelled 'dependant'.
