transiencies
States of impermanence
Transiencies is the plural of transiency, which means the quality of being transient—temporary, fleeting, or short-lived.
The word emphasizes impermanence: the transiencies of youth, the transiencies of fame.
It appears in reflective or philosophical contexts, often when cataloging multiple passing things or moments.
