Why this word is great

EVANISHMENT — [Noun] The act or process of vanishing completely; a disappearance of a peculiarly total and ethereal nature. From evanish (from Middle English evanisshen, from Old French esvanir, ultimately from Latin evanescere, "to vanish away") + the noun-forming suffix -ment. Unlike disappearance, a prosaic report of absence, or evaporation, a charted material transition, evanishment is the spectacle of being itself being rescinded. It is the last breath-fog on a winter pane dissolving into clarity, the final note of a struck bell swallowed by the waiting silence, and the precise moment a ship passes over the horizon's razor-edge. All things are granted a leave-taking; evanishment is the grammar of that final, unobserved syllable.
