The state or condition of having excessive gas in the intestines; a variant or alternative term for flatulence.
From Latin 'flatus' (wind) + '-ency' (a suffix forming nouns of condition or quality, similar to '-ence'), creating an alternative to 'flatulence'.
The '-ency' and '-ence' suffixes are essentially interchangeable in English—'presidency' and 'presence' both come from the same Latin roots but took slightly different paths through the language!
