Michael:

The dependent variable is so-called because it is assumed to be DEPENDENT
on the level of the independent variable to which the subject is exposed
in an experimental study.

The greater the treatment effect (the effect of the IV on the DV), the
greater the dependent variable is dependent, I would say.
