Evanish

/ɪˈvænɪʃ/ verb

Definition

To vanish or disappear; to fade away or evaporate into nothing.

Etymology

From Latin 'evanescere' (to vanish) derived from 'e-' (out) plus 'vanescere' (to become empty). An archaic or poetic variant of 'vanish' with the same etymological root.

Kelly Says

Both 'evanish' and 'vanish' come from the same Latin root 'vanescere,' but 'evanish' never caught on probably because 'vanish' was simpler and easier to pronounce!
