succorance \SUHK-er-uh ns\ noun 1. the act of seeking out affectionate care and social support. Quotes Here, food in general, and the feeding of someone else in particular…are equated with love, succorance, with a bond between caring parties, with the largely selfless, human act, and Chaplin uses food in motifs that point us toward what distinguishes a civilized society from a jungle. -- Jay Boyer, "Cry Food: The Use of Food as a Comic Motif in the Films of Charlie Chaplin," Beyond the Stars: Studies in American Film, 1993 Origin Succorance is formed from the root word succor meaning "help; relief." Succor, in turn, stems from the Latin term succurrere meaning "to go beneath, run to help." Succorance entered English in the 1930s.
