词源
from Latin -antia (see also -ENCY).
-ancy, suffix[ad. L. -āntia, forming abstr. ns. on ppl. adjs. in -ānt-em (see -ant).]A modern Eng. differentiated form of the earlier -ance, expressing more distinctly the sense of quality, state, or condition, often belonging to L. ns. in -ntia, as in ēlegāntia ‘elegant-ness,’ prūdēntia ‘prudentness,’ as distinct from the sense of action or process, regularly expressed by the Fr. form -ance, as in aid-ance, assist-ance, guid-ance, admitt-ance. Partly used to form new words, partly to refashion earlier words in -ance, expressing quality. If the L. diligentia, elegāntia, temperāntia, prūdēntia, were now for the first time adopted as Eng., they would be made diligency, elegancy, temperancy, prudency; they owe their existing forms in -nce, to the fact that they were adopted from Fr., long before -ncy came into use. But many words, once like these, have been refashioned, and now appear with -ncy; e.g. constancy, infancy, piquancy, vacancy; the modern tendency being to confine -nce to action, and to express quality or state by -ncy; cf. compliance, pliancy, annoyance, buoyancy. For the formation see -ency, and cf. -acy, -cy.
-ancy
word-forming element denoting quality or state, from Latin -antia, forming abstract nouns on past participle adjectives in -antem, appearing in English mostly in words borrowed directly from Latin (those passing through French usually have -ance or -ence; see -ance).
-ancy, -ency
-ancy /(ə)nsi/ suffix.
ORIGIN: from or after Latin -antia -ance. Cf. -ency.
Forming nouns of quality, as relevancy, or state, as expectancy, but not of action (cf. -ance). Many words orig. in -ance have been refash., as constancy.
-ancy
suffix. a form of -ance, expressing more distinctly the sense of quality or state, as in ascendancy, buoyancy.
