Oh snap what about the reverse? Deposition!?
Should "deposition" be the analog of condensation or..wait..oh gosh english-science is messed up X'D

Boil—???
Melt—Freeze
Sublime—???

Evaporate—Condense
This one we're making here!—Deposit

(and deposit/deposition, while standard, is not very good imo; it's a rather confusingly generic term!)

(also, there is no vapor-pressure that produces a tiny (equilibrium-state) amount of liquid in the environment (to my knowledge!), thus there are only two dichotomies in the latter case not three :3 )

(super-critical transitions are probably rare enough not to need single words—you can't buy something at a supermarket (like dry ice) which undergoes a supercritical phase transition XD ..but PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong!! 8) )

The process is not reversible, except if going through the proper phase changes from gas to solid/liquid.

I like these!, but I prefer something that ends in "-vaporation" to be the solid analog of evaporation :3

("Vapor"ation relating to the vapor pressure rather than proper equilibrium-state phase change!)

It is not limited to solids, and is not a phase change.
