Technically, that is a word in German, it means “feeling of celebration enshrinkening”. Might not be very popular, but it follows the rules 😉

Enshrinkening? Moar liek “vanishing” amirite?
jarfil@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Well, it would come from “ver- schwind
-en-ung”, so the closest translation to English might be something like “for-dwindling”… but the English “for-” seems to have lost some of the versatility of the German “ver-”, so the closest modern word that comes to mind is using the “shrink” meaning of “schwinden”, and translate as “enshrinkening”. Ultimately they’d all be synonyms.Schmuppes@lemmy.world 10 months ago
No matter how much you try to hack the word into pieces, dude: “Verschwinden” translates to “to vanish”.

Meanwhile, “to vanish” has several synonyms, and it just happens some can be built following almost the same composition rules.
