The act of making firm or confirming; firmness or stability; confirmation of something.
From Old French 'firmance,' derived from Latin 'firmare' (to make firm) with suffix '-ance' (from Latin '-antia'). Describes the state of being made firm or the process of confirming.
In medieval legal documents, 'firmance' was used solemnly—a 'firmance of the contract' meant something was permanently established and couldn't be easily undone, giving the word real power in matters of property and rights.
