What does VANISH mean in Scrabble?
verb
To pass out of sight suddenly or completely, or to stop existing.
Things that vanish may do so in an instant, like a magician's coin, or slowly, like a species that dies out over centuries. The verb reaches English through French from Latin evanescere, which is also the source of the word evanescent. In phonetics a vanish is the short closing part of a vowel, and in mathematics a quantity that vanishes becomes zero.
