Vapoured

Part of speech: verb

Definitions

1. To have undergone the process of turning into vapor due to heat, to have released a gaseous state from a liquid or solid, and to have achieved a light or insubstantial form through evaporation
2. To have transformed a substance into vaporized form by applying heat, to have emitted gases from a liquid state, and to have become lighter or more ethereal as a result of this change
3. Changed from liquid or solid into gas by heat

Etymology: The root is the Latin "vapor", which meant steam, warm mist, or the breath rising from something heated. That visible cloud given off by hot water or damp air is the physical origin of everything the word later came to cover. "Vapoured" is the British spelling of "vapored", the same form with the "u" added. The Latin root also produced "evaporate", which follows the same idea: a liquid or solid passing into vapour, often through heat.

Synonyms: evaporated, misty
