Morphology

survivance = survive (transparent) = survive + ance

Formed by the verb 'survive' plus the nominalizing suffix '-ance', producing the act/state meaning that is directly inferable.

Etymology

Survivance comes from Latin parts super- 'over' and vivere 'to live', the same root as survive and survivor. So survivance means continuing to exist or 'live on' after hardship.
