1word1dayfugacious (fyoo-GAY-shus) - adj., fleeting, transitory; (Bot.) fading or withering quickly.
Coined in the 1630s from Latin root fugāci-, the stem of fugāx, apt to flee, from fugere, to flee -- and as such cognate of fugitive and fugue.
Enjoy the sakura while the fugacious cherry blossoms last.
