exigencies

Word:
=exigencies/ exigency=

Context Sentence: 'For Roman translators, the task of transferring a text from language to language could be perceived as an exercise in comparative stylistics, since they were free from the __exigencies__ sh of having to make known either the form or content per se, and consequently did not need to subordinate themselves to the frame of the original'.
