You'll have to get a well-funded PR team to promote any new term. 2) 'genesis' normally is somewhat abrupt but in weather is gradual; 'terminus' is very abrupt. 3) ...'lysis' is fine, the analogy works OK for me. | |

| Oct 17, 2014 at 12:33 | comment | added | Fattie | tough question! maybe just "disintegration" or "dissipation" or "collapse" or "completion"? (They tend to only suit certain situations, though.) | |
| Oct 17, 2014 at 12:32 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | OED lysis Defn 2: Pathol. ‘An insensible or gradual solution or termination of a disease or disorder without apparent phenomena’. Defn 3: Biol. [perhaps derived from the suffix -lysis in bacteriolysis , hæmolysis (see 2).] The disintegration or dissolution of cells or cell organelles; esp. the dissolution of bacterial cells brought about by bacteriophage. What do you want it to mean in a meteorological context? | |
