Vaporised: meaning, definitions and examples
💨
vaporised
[ ˈveɪpəraɪzd ]
state change
Vaporised refers to the process of turning a substance from a liquid or solid state into a vapor. This can occur through heating, where energy is added to a substance, causing the molecules to move rapidly and escape into the air as gas. Vaporisation is commonly seen in various contexts, such as cooking, industrial processes, and environmental phenomena. Understanding vaporisation is crucial in fields like chemistry, physics, and engineering, as it plays a significant role in various physical processes.
Synonyms
atomized, distilled, evaporated.
Examples of usage
- The water vaporised when heated.
- The solid wax vaporised under the heat of the flame.
- Some chemicals vaporise quickly at room temperature.

Etymology
The word 'vaporised' derives from the noun 'vapor', which comes from the Latin term 'vapor', meaning 'mist' or 'steam'. The suffix '-ized' indicates a process of transformation. Vaporisation has been studied since ancient times, with early scientists observing the effects of heat on liquids and solids. In the 17th century, Robert Boyle's experiments on gases laid the groundwork for understanding vaporisation. Over the years, as scientific knowledge progressed, the study of vaporisation became integral to fields like thermodynamics and physical chemistry. The term has evolved but remains central to discussions of phase transitions in various scientific disciplines.
