Close enough. e v a n e s c o - you were only
one letter off. I think JKR invented it from the word
"evanescent : tending to vanish like vapor."

but the evenesco spell that snape uses to clear
Harry's potion must be able to send things to where
you want. For while it is used to clean up bad potions
and vomit. Bill also uses it to get ride of the map scrolls
at the black house on harry's first trip to the kitchen.
I find it hard to believe that they no longer needed all
the diffrent scrolls. This means that there must be
a way to get them back as well.

That's a really good point. There must be a silent part
of the spell where you think of where you want the stuff
to go. That makes it a mixed spell, partly verbal and
partly silent. It also means that if you wanted to take
something somewhere but it was too heavy to carry, you
_might_ evanesco it into the 'somewhere' and then retrieve
it after you had arrived where you wanted to take it.
I guess it might have a restriction on how far away you
could get before retrieving the item, but if not, it's
a great loophole and ought to be very handy when shopping.

I wonder whether there are wizard storage lockers that
have no doors.

Gringotts probably has all their vaults protected against
people using evanesco to put stuff in and get stuff out.

I think the evanesco spell is one of a pair. The lower form of
banishing send things across the room. we see harry and co practising
this in book 4. That is also where we see the lower form of summoning.
But through the books we see the teachers conjureing items like chairs.
But no two chairs are the same from person to person. they match the
person bring them in but not the other people who do that spell. I
think your right on how evanesco works. And I think it has another
Spell that works the same in revers. You think of the item and where it
is and bring it to you to use. afterwards you send it back.
I don't think they are makeing all the items out of nothing but mearly
moveing there own things around. As to the rang, I expect it to be
right around the same as the apperation spell.
