How Do You Spell VAPORIZE?

Pronunciation: [vˈe͡ɪpəɹˌa͡ɪz] (IPA)

The word "vaporize" is spelled with a "z" instead of an "s" because it is derived from the Latin word "vapor" which also contains a "z" sound. In IPA phonetic transcription, "vaporize" is pronounced as /ˈveɪpəraɪz/. This word is commonly used in chemistry to describe the process of turning a liquid or solid substance into a gas through heating or a change in pressure. It can also be used figuratively to describe the disappearance or disintegration of something.

VAPORIZE Meaning and Definition

1. Vaporize is a verb that typically refers to the process of transforming a substance from a solid or liquid state into vapor or gas. This transformation occurs when the substance is exposed to high temperatures or decreased pressure, leading to the breaking down of molecules and their conversion into an airborne state. It is important to note that the term vaporize is commonly used in the context of liquids turning into gas, but it can also refer to solids undergoing sublimation directly into vapor without becoming a liquid first.

   In a broader sense, vaporize can also denote the act of completely and rapidly evaporating or disappearing. This usage is commonly employed in situations where an object or entity seems to vanish without a trace, leaving no evidence of its existence. It can be metaphorically applied to describe the elimination or annihilation of something, such as an idea, memory, or concept.

   Furthermore, vaporize can be employed metaphorically to signify the act of annihilating or destroying someone or something rapidly and completely, often in a figurative or non-physical sense. In this context, it represents a forceful or dominant action that brings about the complete eradication or elimination of the target.

   Overall, the verb vaporize encompasses the notions of transforming a substance into vapor or gas, disappearing or evaporating swiftly, and metaphorically annihilating or obliterating.
