ADIENCE, n. Obs. (See quot.)Fif. 1825 Jam.2:
To gie adience, to make room; as, to give a wall adience, not to confine it in its extent. It is viewed as synon. with Sc. scouth.

[The word is not known to our correspondents. A prob. suggestion for its origin is that it is a form of audience, with a specialised meaning. See Audiscence.]
