Wane

Wane
Verb
\’wân\
Wayne

SAT: To decrease in size
DICTIONARY: to decrease in strength, intensity, etc
Mine: To decrease in general.
Synonym: Diminish
Sentence: As his interest in maintaining his grades in English class waned, he put less and less effort into his vocabulary word sentences.
Mnemonic: If you go insane your sanity wanes.
This may make sense, because “insane” and “wane” rhyme, and I do believe your sanity would decrease if you were insane.
