MEANING & PRONUNCIATION

die Pfadabhängigkeit

path dependence (the way earlier choices or arrangements constrain later changes)

Die Pfadabhängigkeit unserer Ablage zeigte sich daran, dass wir längst überflüssige Ordner weiterführten, nur weil sämtliche alten Verweise auf sie zugeschnitten waren.

The path dependence of our filing system was evident in the fact that we kept maintaining folders that had long been redundant, simply because all the old references were built around them.
