dissipated, removed, banished, faded... Explanation: Participi de desvanèixer. See what comes in the dictionary Alcover Moll: http://dcvb.iecat.net/ DESVANÈIXER v. tr. Esvanir; cast. desvanecer. Per desvanèixer las sombras que dita pretensió podia ocasionar, doc. a. 1685 (González Sugranyes Hist. Grem. ii). La Pepeta... se veu que la seva mare... y les vehines ab consells, l'han desvanescuda de l'afició que portava a aquell tunanta, Vilanova Obres, iv, 41. La Rossa... una ratxada de vent, fret y humit, sobtant-la a la sorfida, la desvanesqué totduna, Pons Auca 245. Fon.: dəzβənέʃə (Barc.); dezβanéјʃeɾ (Val.); dəzvənə́ʃə (Palma). Es paraula d'origen castellà, poc usada en el llenguatge popular i inacceptable en el literari. My Spanish-English (Larousse) gives: dispel, make disappear, dissipate for desvanecer. So this could be dissipated, banished, removed, faded... depending on your context -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 mins (2004-02-23 17:20:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- mmmmmm, the formatting didn\'t come throug, so please check \"desvanèixer\" (p.p. desvanescut) at http://dcvb.iecat.net/ Reference: http://dcvb.iecat.net/ |
