There is no such word. You probably mean preponderance, which is a noun meaning superiority in strength, numbers, weight, or importance.

What does perponderence of evidence mean?

Preponderance of the evidence n. the greater weight of the evidence required in a civil (non-criminal) lawsuit for the trier of fact (jury or judge without a jury) to decide in favor of one side or the other. This preponderance is based on the more convincing evidence and its probable truth or accuracy, and not on the amount of evidence. Thus one clearly knowledgable witness may provide a preponderance of evidence over a dozen witnesses with hazy testimony. Preponderence of the evidence is required in a civil case and is contrasted with "beyond a reasonable doubt," which is legal opinions, the meaning is somewhat subjective. Gerald N. Hill and Kathleen T. Hill www.legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com
