Morphology

recipience = receive (semi-transparent) = receive + ence

The noun denotes a capacity/state related to 'receive' + '-ence', but the rare and irregular-looking form reduces immediate recognizability.

Etymology

Recipience also comes from the Latin verb recipere, which means 'to receive', and it is related to the word receptive. So recipience in this sense is the ability to be open to new ideas or feelings, like an open hand ready to accept a gift.
