the slow surrender where something becomes invisible without ever actually leaving.
means To pass into solution or break apart into a liquid, or more broadly to bring something to an end, melt away, or fade out of existence.
from From Latin dissolvere, a marriage of dis- ('apart') and solvere ('to loosen, release, free'). So at its root it means to un-bind — to loosen something so completely that it comes apart at the seams. That same solvere also gives us 'solve' and 'solvent,' which is fitting: dissolving is just the chemistry of letting go.
