European vice-president takes in view when cycling for fleeting moment (11)
I believe the answer is:
evanescence
'moment' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for evanescence that I've seen before include "Fading" , "Transient quality" , "tendency to pass rapidly" , "A quick vanishing" .)
