Best Answer

No. The word society is from the Latin form societ, meaning fellowship.

Because of their origins, words such as science, and society, and ceiling, do not follow the general rule of "I before E except after C."

What ever happened to you before e except after c?

I believe it should be 'i' before 'e'. You are presenting a distorted version of a spelling rule, i before e except after c; this applies to words such as receipt, believe, and so forth. It also has exceptions, such as weird. Even though it does not come after a c, the e is before the i in the word weird. There are some others, as well. English spelling is complicated.

The rule "i before e except after c" does not apply to all words in English, and "their" is an example of an exception to this rule. "Their" follows the pattern of "ei" coming before "r" in the word.
