Equipollency

/ˌɛkwɪˈpɒlənsɪ/ noun

Definition

An alternative form of equipollence; the state of having equal power or logical equivalence.

Etymology

Variant formation of equipollence using the -cy suffix instead of -ce, both derived from Latin equipollentia. Both forms are acceptable in formal discourse, though equipollence is more common.

Kelly Says

Equipollency and equipollence are like twins—they mean the same thing but one sounds a bit more scholarly, kind of like how 'pharmacy' and 'pharmacist' both relate to medicine but describe different things!
