Etymology
Aphetic for obsolete evanish, from Middle English evanisshen, esvanisshen, from Old French esvanir, esvaniss- (modern French évanouir), from Vulgar Latin *exvanire (“to vanish, disappear, to fade out”), from Latin ēvānēscō, ēvānēscere, from vānus (“empty”). By surface analysis, Latin vān- + -ish (“verb suffix”). Doublet of evanesce.
Displaced native Old English cwincan, whose causative persists as quench (“put out (fire)”).
