How to use "Ephemeral" in context?
When we think of ephemeral, we probably think of something that doesn't last very long, like a vaporized cloud of water in the air. But what do we mean by "ephemeral" in other contexts, too? Is there a specific word for something that's short-lived, but still memorable?
Defining "ephemeral" can be tricky, but one thing to consider is how lasting an impression something leaves on us. Something that's very fleeting, like a vaporized cloud, might only last for a few seconds or minutes, but it can still have an impact on us.
