n. the act or process of disappearing
The word "vanish" originates from the Old French vaniss-, the stem of vanir ("to disappear"), which itself derives from Latin vanescere ("to fade away"), from vanus ("empty, void"). The suffix -ing is a productive English suffix used to form present participles or gerunds. The combination reflects the process of something fading out of sight or existence.
