Forms: 1500s– antecedence; Scottish pre-1700 antecedens.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin antecedentia.

Compare Middle French antecedence , French antécédence (1576, earliest in legal use). Compare antecedent adj., antecedency n. With sense 1 compare earlier antecedent n.The form antecedens (see quot. a1500 at sense 1a) could alternatively be taken as showing a borrowing of classical Latin antecēdēns antecedent n.
