The state or quality of being absent from a place, especially by fleeing or escaping secretly.
From 'abscond' with the abstract noun suffix '-ence'. This is a rare, technical term that combines the concrete action of fleeing with an abstract noun form, similar to 'absence' but with implications of intentional evasion.
This word tries to turn the action of fleeing into a condition—it's technically correct but sounds so formal that legal documents and dictionaries are almost the only places it appears!
