Incorrect spelling, explanation: taking into account the origin of the word presence, we notice that it is spelled with one consonant s and vowel e after it, not consonant c. If you write a word in a hurry, you can add something to it, which is wrong. In this case, a similar situation has happened and prescence is a misspelling. The correct form is solely presence.
Correct spelling, explanation: the word presence comes from the Latin praesentia via Old French. Considering the origin of this word, we spell presence with one s without c after it. The first known use was in Middle English and it has remained until today. Consequently, presence is spelled errorless and prescence is mistaken.
