Etymology
Sence is a nonstandard spelling of sense, which comes from the old Latin word sentire meaning 'to feel' or 'notice' and the same root appears in sensation and sensitive. So to have sense is to be able to 'feel' or understand things, and the spelling sence is just a different, nonstandard form rather than a different meaning.
