From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  USANCE, commercial law. The term usance comes from usage, and signifies the

  payment of a bill of exchange. Poth. Contr. du Change, n. 15. 
       2. The time of one, two or three mouths after the date of the bill, 
  according to the custom of the places between which the exchanges run.
