Definition: Abstinancy in Greek is the absence of pleasure. It was a term used by Plato to describe certain emotions, including delight (eudaimonia), anger, fear, lust, jealousy, sorrow, melancholy, and even anger itself. In other words, abstinence from pleasures leads to a state of abstinence - nothing more, nothing less. This state is described in Plato's "Republic" as the "state of indifference and complacency towards human relations." In this state, people can no longer feel the joy or happiness that comes from engaging with others or having pleasure, and instead find themselves content, satisfied, and contented. In summary, abstinence is the absence of pleasures or emotions, particularly in a state where one feels nothing more than indifference, complacency, and boredom. This is not to say that one does not feel pleasure or happiness, but rather that these feelings are suppressed or diminished as a result of abstinence from pleasure. Please note that this is a simplified definition of 'abstinancy' based on the context given in your question. In reality, abstinence from pleasures and other emotions requires more complex processes and mental states than the ones described in the question.
