john milton invented this word and spelled it as so(line 47 book 4 paradise lost). therefor I don't think this is a misspelling.

Might be British variant, BTW, I don't think that John Milton invented this word, I think it way precedes him.--Rosswood40 08:18, 14 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

I've added the etymology. Maybe Milton meant a pun on (deprecated template usage) pence. Did he display much humor in his works? DCDuring TALK 21:22, 15 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
