The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
"The act of including; a receiving of something offered, with acquiescence, approbation, or satisfaction; especially, favourable reception; approval."
It does seem to be a word, but I'm not sure that this plausible meaning is the real one. It seems to be something obscure, perhaps in psychology: e.g. "Tellenbach does not attempt to account for manic phenomena in terms of includence and remanence..." Equinox ◑ 19:30, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
- The psychiatric sense is from a modern (German) coinage by Hubertus Tellenbach, Inkludenz, which is based on the original Latin meaning of inclūsiō as "confinement, imprisonment" and has no direct connection to English include. That sense does look to be securely attested. As a synonym of "inclusion", not so much. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 19:55, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
- I added the psychiatry sense as a separate etymology. I found some marginally plausible stuff on Google Books searching for "the includence", but on closer examination it looks like pretty much all of those instances are typos or catachresis for incidence (e.g., 2). —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 12:59, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
RFV Failed, the new definition appears to be the correct one. Ioaxxere (talk) 02:53, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
