Verb 1. deliquesce — melt away in the process of decay

“The police enter and examine a corpse (Madonna’s)—a visual motif that he returned to in the grisly ‘Se7en’ (1995), in which cops repeatedly walk in on deliquescing or bloody corpses.”

—David Denby, review of The Social Network, in The New Yorker, October 4, 2010

“No one who followed the deliquescence of the markets in 2008 will learn a jot from this film, even though it covers the dire days of early October.”

—Anthony Lane, review of Wall Street:  Money Never Sleeps, in The New Yorker, October 4, 2010
