G'day Shybusser,

Thank you for your question.

Do you mean effacement? According to the American dictionary, effacement is a noun derived from the verb efface. To efface means:

1. To rub or wipe out; erase.
2. To make indistinct as if by rubbing: "Five years' absence had done nothing to efface the people's memory of his firmness" (Alan Moorehead). See Synonyms at erase.
3. To conduct (oneself) inconspicuously: "When the two women went out together, Anna deliberately effaced herself and played to the dramatic Molly" (Doris Lessing).
