évanouir

== French == === Etymology === Inherited from Old French esvanir, evanir, probably from a Vulgar Latin *exvānīre, later influenced from the Latin form ēvānuit (“vanished”) of ēvānescō, ēvānēscere. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /e.va.nwiʁ/ Rhymes: -iʁ === Verb === évanouir (pronominal) to lose consciousness; to faint (pronominal, formal) to vanish or disappear without a trace, especially things ==== Conjugation ==== This is a regular verb of the second conjugation, like finir, choisir, and most other verbs with infinitives ending in -ir. One salient feature of this conjugation is the repeated appearance of the infix -iss-. ==== Derived terms ==== s'évanouir dans la nature === Further reading === “évanouir”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012
