About This Root
From Latin vapor (steam, mist, exhalation). A straightforward physical root: vapor/vapour (visible mist), vaporize (to turn into gas), evaporate (to turn outward into vapor — from ē- + vapor), and evaporation. The root stayed close to its literal meaning without significant metaphorical drift.
