Morphology

procurance = procure (transparent) = procure + ance

Formed by the verb 'procure' plus the nominalizing suffix '-ance', yielding 'the act of obtaining' which is directly deducible from the base.

Etymology

The word procurance comes from Latin parts pro- 'for' and curare 'to care for', so it originally meant caring or managing for someone. You can see the same root in procure, and that's why procurance now means the act of getting or obtaining something.
