Lasting for a very short time; transitory or fleeting. Something that exists briefly and then disappears.
From Greek 'ephemeros,' meaning 'lasting only a day,' from 'epi-' (upon) + 'hemera' (day). Originally described insects that live for only one day, later extended to anything short-lived.
Think 'a-feminine-al' - like how some people think feminine beauty is fleeting and temporary. But better yet, think of a mayfly that lives for just one day - ephemeral things are here today, gone today!
