It is a noun meaning “The act or state of vanishing away; disappearance; as, the evanescence of vapor, of a dream, of earthly plans or hopes”

The adjective form is Evanescant, which means “Fleeting. Disappearing after only a short time and soon forgotten”

The verb form is Evanesce “to disappear gradually; vanish; fade away.”

Rainbows have always brought a smile on my face…its a sign of optimism and joy when the sun shines in the horizon after a heavy down pour…i still remember during my school days i used to run towards rainbows trying to find out where exactly it is located and take a closer look at the beauty of nature. For me rainbows will always fill my heart with joy and happiness. Great Question !! TC!
