the.com/overreliance
trusting the crutch so much you forget how legs work.
means depending on something (a tool, a person, a system) so heavily that your own ability to function without it quietly atrophies.
from from over- (excessive) plus reliance, from rely, via old french relier meaning to bind or fasten together; the irony is the word for trust literally means being tied down.
