Plural of hesitancy; multiple instances or qualities of being reluctant, uncertain, or pausing before acting.
Plural form of 'hesitancy,' following the standard English rule of changing -cy to -cies. The root remains the Latin 'haesitare' discussed in hesitance.
The fact that English needed both 'hesitance' and 'hesitancy' to mean almost the same thing shows how language accumulates synonyms when people keep inventing similar words for the same concept—it's linguistic redundancy in action, and we keep both because they sound slightly different and poets love the variety.
