Definition
The quality or instance of being exorbitant; an instance of excessive or unreasonable demand or price.
Etymology
A variant form of exorbitance, created by replacing the -ance suffix with -ancy. Both suffixes come from Latin and create nouns from adjectives, with -ancy being slightly less common in modern English but used interchangeably in many contexts.
Kelly Says
English has many pairs like 'exorbitance/exorbitancy'—having two slightly different suffixes (-ance vs -ancy) that mean essentially the same thing is a quirk of how English borrowed from French and Latin, creating beautiful redundancy that lets writers choose based on sound and rhythm!
