remissions
Symptoms temporarily vanish
Remissions is the plural of remission, which centers on lessening or letting go.
In medicine, remission is a period when a disease's symptoms diminish or disappear: Her cancer has been in remission for three years.
Remission also means the cancellation of a debt, penalty, or sin—forgiveness that releases obligation: remission of sins.
Less commonly, it refers to reducing the intensity of something: a brief remission in the summer heat.
