Explanation:
Participi de desvanèixer. See what comes in the dictionary Alcover Moll:

http://dcvb.iecat.net/
DESVANÈIXER v. tr.
Esvanir; cast. desvanecer. Per desvanèixer las sombras que dita pretensió podia ocasionar, doc. a. 1685 (González Sugranyes Hist. Grem. ii). La Pepeta... se veu que la seva mare... y les vehines ab consells, l'han desvanescuda de l'afició que portava a aquell tunanta, Vilanova Obres, iv, 41. La Rossa... una ratxada de vent, fret y humit, sobtant-la a la sorfida, la desvanesqué totduna, Pons Auca 245.
Fon.: dəzβənέʃə (Barc.); dezβanéјʃeɾ (Val.); dəzvənə́ʃə (Palma). Es paraula d'origen castellà, poc usada en el llenguatge popular i inacceptable en el literari.

My Spanish-English (Larousse) gives: dispel, make disappear, dissipate for desvanecer. So this could be dissipated, banished, removed, faded... depending on your context

agree  Sheila Hardie: yes, it's hard to be more precise without more context - but it must refer to a feminine singular noun
