- tran´siently adverb
Synonyms: transient, transitory,
ephemeral, fleeting, fugitive, momentary, evanescent. These adjectives mean
lasting, existing, or staying for a short time. Transient usually refers to
what remains only briefly: We stayed at the inn as transient guests. "The moods
were many and transient" (W.H. Hudson). Transitory more often means inherently
short-lived or impermanent: "This false world is but transitory" (William Dunbar).
"Action is transitory- a step, a blow,/The motion of a muscle, this way or that-
/'Tis done" (William Wordsworth). Ephemeral, which in its original sense means
living or lasting only for a day, implies conspicuously brief existence or duration:
"the old universal truths lacking which any story is ephemeral and doomed" (William
Faulkner). Fleeting is applied to what slips away swiftly, often more swiftly
than one would wish: "Art is long, and
Time
is fleeting" (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow). Fugitive especially describes what
is elusive or quickly fades: "I cannot praise a fugitive . . . virtue, unexercised
and unbreathed, that never sallies out and sees her adversary" (John Milton).
Momentary implies the brevity of or as if of a single moment: I had some momentary
misgivings that were quickly resolved. Evanescent suggests that something disappears
like vapor: "The incidents which give excellence to biography are of a volatile
and evanescent kind" (Samuel Johnson).

transient (tran'zhent, tran'zê-ent)
adjective
1. Fleeting, temporary, or unpredictable.
2. Of or pertaining to the region

to a short-lived, abnormal, and unpredictable increase in power supply, such
as a voltage spike or surge. Transient time is the interval during which a change
in current or voltage is building up or decaying.
Modernism and Postmodernism
Modernity is the transient, the
fleeting, the contingent; it is one half of art, the other being the eternal
and the immovable.
Charles Baudelaire (1821-67), French
poet. L'Art Romantique, sct. 4, "The Painter of Modern Life" (1869; repr. in
Selected Writings on Art and Artists, ed. by P. E. Charvet, 1972).
