vaporisation
Liquid turns gaseous
Vaporisation is the British spelling of vaporization—the process of converting a liquid or solid into vapor.
Water undergoes vaporisation when heated to boiling.
The term applies in chemistry, physics, and industrial processes: The vaporisation of fuel occurs in the carburetor.
Figuratively, it can describe complete destruction or disappearance: the vaporisation of their savings.
