Connivancy

/kəˈnaɪvənsi/ noun

Definition

A state or condition of connivance; secret cooperation or tacit approval of something improper.

Etymology

An alternate form of 'connivance,' using the suffix '-cy' instead of '-ance.' Both derive from Latin 'conniventia' and were used interchangeably in older English.

Kelly Says

'-ancy' and '-ance' suffixes both exist in English, but '-ancy' became less popular over time—connivancy is basically a historical variant that lost the spelling competition, like 'connexion' vs. 'connection.'
