Word origin
The word 'vanishing' originated from the verb 'vanish,' which came into English in the late 14th century. It is derived from the Old French word 'vaniss-' and the Latin word 'vanescere,' both meaning 'to disappear' or 'to vanish.' Over time, 'vanishing' has been used to describe sudden disappearances, magical illusions, and the gradual extinction of resources or species.
