"sencis" meaning in All languages combined

See sencis on Wiktionary

Noun [Latvian]

Etymology: From sens (“ancient”), made into a 2nd-declension noun. The c suggests a dialectal origin, from those dialects where ns > nc. Alternatively, it may have come from an earlier *sentis, via genitive *senša > senča. There may have been influence from the c in vecis (“old man”).
