Plural of cadency; the quality of falling or rhythmic motion, particularly in formal or poetic contexts.
From 'cadency' with regular plural formation. A rare form emphasizing the quality of motion and rhythm rather than specific instances.
This is such an archaic plural that most modern dictionaries have dropped it—it's the kind of word that only appears in 19th-century poetry and academic texts.
