Wikipedia
Elastance
Electrical elastance is the reciprocal of capacitance. The SI unit of elastance is the inverse farad (F−1). The concept is not widely used by electrical and electronic engineers. The value of capacitors is invariably specified in units of capacitance rather than inverse capacitance. However, it is used in theoretical work in network analysis and has some niche applications at microwave frequencies. The term elastance was coined by Oliver Heaviside through the analogy of a capacitor as a spring. The term is also used for analogous quantities in some other energy domains. It maps to stiffness in the mechanical domain, and is the inverse of compliance in the fluid flow domain, especially in physiology. It is also the name of the generalised quantity in bond-graph analysis and other schemes analysing systems across multiple domains.

elastance
Elastance is a measure of the ability of a material or system to return to its original form after being subjected to a deforming force. It is the reciprocal of compliance or elasticity, indicating the resistance of a material to deformation or change in volume or shape. In medicine, it is often used to describe the property of the heart or lungs as they respond to changes in pressure or volume.
