An old variant spelling of appendix, used in some older texts; something appended or attached to a document.
Directly from Latin appendix. In Middle English and Early Modern English, 'appendice' was the standard form before 'appendix' became the preferred Latin nominative. This shows how English borrowed different Latin cases over time.
Medieval scribes borrowed Latin in the nominative case (appendix) but also in the accusative (appendicem), leading to variant spellings. By the 18th century, 'appendix' won out—it's like how English decided 'index' not 'indice'!
