evaporations
Moisture becoming air
Evaporations are instances or processes of something turning from liquid to vapor.
Water evaporations from lakes and oceans feed the atmosphere with moisture.
The word also applies to figurative disappearances: the slow evaporation of her enthusiasm, evaporations of goodwill after the scandal.
Scientific contexts may track multiple evaporations as distinct measurable events.
