That which is no longer in existence
Extinct
The most appropriate one-word substitute for "That which is no longer in existence" is 4. Extinct.
Explanation of Options:
1. Vanished: This means to disappear suddenly and completely. While something that has vanished is no longer in existence, "vanished" often implies a sudden, perhaps unexplained, disappearance, and is more of a verb (or participle used adjectivally) describing the act of disappearing. "Extinct" specifically refers to a species, type, or concept no longer existing.
2. Removed: This means to take something away from its position. Something removed might still exist elsewhere. It does not mean "no longer in existence."
3. Destroyed: This means to put an end to the existence of (something) by damaging or attacking it. While something destroyed is no longer in its original form or use, it might still exist in fragments or a different state. "Extinct" implies a complete end to the type or kind of thing.
4. Extinct: This specifically refers to a species, family, or other large group having no living members; or (of a type of person, custom, or skill) no longer existing. This precisely captures the meaning of "no longer in existence" for a category or kind of thing.
