Noun

suppliance ‎(plural suppliances)

1. That which supplies a want; assistance; a gratification; satisfaction.
   • Shakespeare

     the perfume and suppliance of a minute

   • 1867, Richard Chenevix Trench, Studies in the Gospels (page 98)

     All human suppliances for the satisfying of the cravings of the body or of the soul have in them this defect, that they do not satisfy for ever. They only serve to dull and deaden the present sense of the want, but do not remove it.
