Evaporated: meaning, definitions and examples
🌫️
evaporated
[ ɪˈvæpəreɪtɪd ]
liquid transformation
Evaporated refers to the process of a substance, typically a liquid, transforming into vapor or gas. This process occurs when the molecules of the liquid gain enough energy to overcome intermolecular forces and escape into the air. Evaporation can happen at any temperature, as it depends on the energy of individual molecules. It is a crucial step in the water cycle and is also an important process in various scientific and industrial applications.
Synonyms
dissipated, vanished, vaporized.
Examples of usage
- The water evaporated quickly under the sun.
- When cooking, the liquid evaporated, leaving a thick sauce.
- The puddle evaporated after a hot day.
- As the heat increased, the solvent evaporated rapidly.

Etymology
The word 'evaporate' comes from the Latin word 'evaporare', which means 'to dissipate'. It is derived from the combination of 'e-' meaning 'out of' and 'vapor' meaning 'steam or mist'. The term started to gain usage in English during the mid-17th century as scientific understanding of gases and liquids began to develop. The process of evaporation was studied extensively by chemists and physicists, which led to the creation of the term we use today. Over time, 'evaporated' has become commonplace in discussions about weather, cooking, and science, reflecting both everyday experiences and scientific phenomena.
