can i use comma before 'and' when connecting a dependent clause
"The word is of Dutch origin, and is one of many Dutch words used to discuss barriers in the natural landscape."(https://m.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-berm.htm)
i learned that you shouldn't use a comma before 'and' when one of the clauses it’s connecting is a dependent clause. But "is one of many Dutch words used to discuss barriers in the natural landscape" is dependent clause ,so you shouldn't use comma before 'and' in my knowledge.
My question is :why does this writer use comma? is it grammarly right?
