"Short-lived" is a fitting synonym for "ephemeral." It refers to something that does not last long and has a brief existence. The term is often used to describe things that are fleeting or temporary, such as a momentary sensation, a quickly forgotten memory, or a brief relationship. Short-lived can also be used to describe something that has a limited lifespan, like a product that is only available for a short time or a species that is on the verge of extinction. The term is often used in contrast to things that are enduring or long-lasting.
