Its also in Hyperdictionary and the Computer Dictionary and a google would
have found you a defintion in the top hit. It is however not in the OED
(arguably the nearest thing to a authorative dictionary in English), it's
a production from the verb 'afford'.
Its not a very good word, but its the only one I know of that can
describe... affordance ;)

It's "Affordanz", a psychological term see:

Aaah! Thank you.
This also explains, why this artword isn't found in any dictionary.
