All But Disappeared
Hello,
Could someone explain the meaning of the phrase "all but disappeared"? I know it means that something has almost disappeared except for a small portion left.
However, doesn't the phrase mean that it has done everything EXCEPT disappear? So it hasn't disappeared yet. Or is it the point that it has essentially gone away except for 1% left?
Thanks.
