A relationship of similarity or connection between things; the state of corresponding or agreeing with something else.
From the verb correspond (Latin correspondere), combined with the suffix -ency (from Latin -entia) to form an abstract noun denoting a state or quality.
Before email, 'correspondency' referred to the entire relationship between letter-writers—not just the letters themselves but the mutual understanding and agreement they built together.
