Fr. -ance:—L. -ānt-ia, -ēnt-ia, -ent-ia (see -ence), all of which in words that survived into Fr., or were formed in Fr. as nouns of action, on the pres. pple., were levelled under -ance. But other L. words of this form, subseq. adopted in Fr., took -ence or -ance, according to L. spelling. Thus of popular preservation or formation, aidance, assistance, complaisance, nuisance, parlance, séance; of later learned adoption from L., absence, clémence, différence, diligence, providence, prudence, as well as élégance, tempérance. Words of both classes were adopted in Eng. in their actual Fr. forms, which they still generally retain. But, since 1500, various words orig. in -ance from Fr. have been altered back to -ence, after L.; and all words recently adopted from L., directly or through mod.Fr., or formed on L. analogies, have taken -ence or -ance according to the L. vowel. Hence, mod.E. words in -ance partly represent L. -āntia, but largely L. -entia, -ēntia, through OFr. -ance; partly also mod.Fr. -ance from vbs. of various origin. On the other hand, OFr. -ance:—L. -entia, -ēntia, is, in consequence of refashioning, partly represented by Eng. -ence. For the confusion and inconsistency which this causes in current spelling, as in dependance, -dence, resistance, subsistence, see -ence. As, in many cases, the OFr. vbs. themselves, as well as their derivatives in -ance, were adopted in Eng. (e.g. appear -ance, assist -ance, purvey -ance, suffer -ance), the suffix became to a certain extent a living formative, and was occas. used to form similar nouns of action on native vbs., as abid-ance, abear-ance, forbear-ance, further-ance, hinder-ance, ridd-ance, etc. For meaning, see -ence; and cf. -ancy. -ance word-forming element attached to verbs to form abstract nouns of process or fact (convergence from converge), or of state or quality (absence from absent); ultimately from Latin -antia and -entia, which depended on the vowel in the stem word, from PIE -nt-, adjectival suffix. As Old French evolved from Latin, these were leveled to -ance, but later French borrowings from Latin (some of them subsequently passed to English) used the appropriate Latin form of the ending, as did words borrowed by English directly from Latin (diligence, absence). English thus inherited a confused mass of words from French and further confused it since c.1500 by restoring -ence selectively in some forms of these words to conform with Latin. Thus dependant, but independence, etc. ☞ -ance, -ence -ance /(ə)ns/ suffix. ORIGIN: French from Latin (i) -antia, from pres. ppl stems in -ant- -ant¹, (ii) -entia: see -ence. Forming nouns of quality (or instances of it), as arrogance, relevance, or of action, as assistance, penance. Since the 16th cent. many words ending in -ance from French have been altered back to -ence after Latin, and more recent words have taken -ance or -ence according to the Latin vowel (hence much inconsistency, as dependence, dependance, resistance, subsistence). Through such pairs as appear, appearance it became to some extent a living suffix and was appended to verbs of non-Romance origin, as forbear, forbearance, hinder, hindrance, rid, riddance. Now a common formative element in techn. terms, as absorbance. Cf. -ancy. -ance* suffix forming nouns chiefly from verbs. the act or fact of _____ing: Avoidance = the act or fact of avoiding. the quality or state of being _____ed: Annoyance = the quality of being annoyed. a thing that _____s: Conveyance = a thing that conveys. what is _____ed: Contrivance = what is contrived. the quality or state of being _____ant: Importance = the quality or state of being important. [< French -ance < Latin -antia, -entia] UsageAlthough the spelling of words ending in -ance and -ence, in -ancy and -ency, and in -ant and -ent differs, pronunciation of the members of each suffix pair is the same and the accepted spelling must be committed to memory. -ance \ən(t)s, ^ən(t)s\ noun suffix (-s) Etymology: Middle English, from Old French, from Latin -antia, from -ant-, -ans -ant + -ia -y 1. : action or process < attendance > < deliverance > < furtherance > : instance of an action or process < appearance > < performance > 2. : quality or state < resemblance > < temperance > : instance of a quality or state < protuberance > 3. : amount or degree < conductance > < tramsittance > -ance -ence ⠨⠑ Suffix Added to the stem of a verb to form a noun indicating a state or condition, such as result or capacity, associated with the verb.
