oblivion
State of nothingness
Oblivion is the state of being completely forgotten or unknown: His early work faded into oblivion.
It also means the state of being unaware or unconscious of what is happening: She drank herself into oblivion.
To consign something to oblivion is to deliberately forget or discard it.
The word suggests total erasure—not mere forgetting, but as if something never existed at all.
