消失 is pronounced xiāoshī and means “menghilang”. HSK 5 is where this word sits in the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, the exam used to grade Chinese proficiency. Reading 消失 and remembering it are not the same achievement: the first fades within days unless the second is practised. LexiTrail times each review to the edge of forgetting, which is where a repetition is worth the most.
