Dependence (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reliance

'dependence' is the definition.
(I know that reliance is a type of dependence)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for reliance that I've seen before include "Trust - in cereal (anag)" , "Dependence (on something)" , "Dependence, trust" , "Faith" , "Trust or confidence" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Sun and The Mirror.
