The original POSIX.2-1992 standard was careful to use "prerequisite"
throughout. Uses of "dependency" have crept in via the SCCS features from
The Single UNIX Specification, version 2, and in some edits made since the
2018 edition of the standard. The rationale contains a reference to "The
System V dynamic dependency feature" which should remain, as that is what
it was called historically.
