The term itself is the problem. If it's only one person who is dependent, there is no "co" involved. Co-workers are people who work together. Co-parents are people who parent together. But there's no togetherness in codependency. So really what people mean is that both people in the relationship have dependent personality disorder. But codependent makes perfect semantic sense and is shorter than dependent personality disorder.

Yup. Any reasonable person would *assume* that the term means a relationship between two people who are dependent on being together, but it doesn't. The term "codependent" is terribly misleading especially since it seems to have such an obvious meaning, but that obvious meaning isn't what it actually means. Argh.
