Fugaciousness

/fjuːˈɡeɪʃəsnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being fleeting, temporary, or lasting only briefly.

Etymology

From 'fugacious' plus the noun-forming suffix '-ness.' Traces back through Old French to Latin 'fugacious,' all connected to the concept of fleeing or passing quickly.

Kelly Says

This abstract noun captures one of humans' deepest anxieties: the relentless passage of time and how quickly beautiful moments disappear—philosophers love this word for discussions about impermanence.
