The quality of being temporary, perishable, or easily shed; the tendency to fall away or disappear.
From Latin caducitas, from caducus (falling, transitory). This philosophical term developed to describe the inherent impermanence of temporary things.
The concept of caducity is central to Buddhist philosophy—the idea that nothing lasts forever, which explains why they view attachment to possessions as a source of suffering.
