The correct answer is (D) emptiness; vacuum; empty space; a feeling of great loss or emptiness. Also, useless, ineffectual. In law, of no legal force or effect; not legally binding or enforceable.

Void comes from Old French voider, Latin vacuus (empty), vacare (to be empty).

Examples of use:

• Shortly after dusk, the stolen truck was concealed in the void of darkness
• The death of his wife left a void that accompanied him everywhere.
