vapourizing
Turning to mist
Vapourizing is the British spelling of vaporizing—converting a substance into vapour, whether by boiling, evaporation, or other means.
Water vapourizes when heated.
In figurative use, to vapourize something is to destroy it utterly, as if reducing it to mist: The laser vapourized the target.
Also spelled vaporizing.
