Root Explanation

Evanish → It is formed from "e-" (a variant of "ex-", meaning out of or away) and "vanish" (from Old French *vanir*, meaning to disappear). The word "evanish" means to disappear or fade away from sight or existence.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'going away' ('e-') and 'disappearing' ('vanish') — that's why evanish means to fade away.
