Ences

Ences is a suffix commonly used in English to form nouns from verbs, indicating the act or process of the verb. It is derived from the Latin suffix -entia, which means "that which is." The suffix is often used to create abstract nouns, such as "dancing" from "dance" or "running" from "run." It is also used to form nouns from verbs that end in -ce, such as "dancing" from "dance" and "pacing" from "pace." The suffix is not used with all verbs, and its use can vary depending on the specific verb and context. For example, while "running" is commonly used, "jumping" is more common than "jumping." The use of the suffix -ences is also influenced by regional and dialectal variations in English.
